The Kingdom of Cithaqtantals is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 717 million Cithaqtantalsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cithaqtantalsian economy, worth 104 trillion Punds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 145,098 Punds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Cithaqtantals, video evidence of cruel animal experiments tends to be of poor quality, and it is common to see Maxémon Trainer listed on Cithaqtantalsian resumés. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cithaqtantals's national animal is the Platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cithaqtantals is ranked 28,146^th in the world and 8^th in The Invaders for Highest Average Incomes, with 145,098.54 Standard Monetary Units.
