The Scientific Utopia of Kikuta is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, humorless population of 18.67 billion Kikutans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hagi. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kikutan economy, worth a remarkable 2,278 trillion Bits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 122,027 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Endocrinology is a rapidly growing field of study, the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, and psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kikuta's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kikuta is ranked 288,431^st in the world and 11,125^th in Balder for Most Primitive, scoring -540.89 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
