The Glorious Nation of Kichutina is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Guilherme The Marked with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.498 billion Kichutinianis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rose's City. The average income tax rate is 59.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kichutinian economy, worth 133 trillion Sterling Kichutes 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 black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. 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 89,171 Sterling Kichutes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, legend has it Guilherme The Marked's shower singing echoes through the halls of government, cremation is compulsory for the deceased, and it's not only teenagers who mess around with fake IDs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kichutina's national animal is the Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Kichutina is ranked 222,813th in the world and 73rd in Flanelistan for Largest Populations, with 1.50 billion capita.
