The Republic of Kitann is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 376 million Kitannians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kitannian economy, worth 19.4 trillion Kiters a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,724 Kiters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Disability advocates are not amused that they are told to be dependent on Kitannians's kindness, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and the Kitann Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime is totally unknown. Kitann's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kitann is ranked 322,527^th in the world and 1,384^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 0.7 flags saluted per person per day.
