The Allied Huggable Fluffies of Kitabo is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leland Gaunt with an even hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 26.913 billion Kitaboans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but underdeveloped Kitaboan economy, worth a remarkable 1,607 trillion quads a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,729 quads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, Leland Gaunt's personal home is one of The North Pacific's most notorious party destinations, workers have their fruitcake and eat it too, and flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kitabo's national animal is the likito, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kitabo is ranked 1,792^nd in the world and 80^th in The North Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 90.94 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
