The Allied Huggable Fluffies of Kitabo is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leland Gaunt with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, smutty television, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 31.606 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 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Kitaboan economy, worth a remarkable 2,869 trillion quads a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,792 quads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia, there is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every Kitaboan grocery store, the government-sponsored autobiography 'A Leland Gaunt For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Leland Gaunt's supporters, and planes can be grounded for months simply because an inspector "didn't like the color". Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kitabo's national animal is the likito, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kitabo is ranked 101,811^th in the world and 4,813^th in The North Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 47.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
