The Not so Holy Platypus state of Kitzgos is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Lord President Daburra with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 12.853 billion Kitzgosians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belsay. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Kitzgosian economy, worth a remarkable 2,980 trillion Gold Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 231,928 Gold Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, many aides in Lord President Daburra's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, environmental legislation occurs cyclically, and Kitzgos isn't what it used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kitzgos's national animal is the Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Blefism.

Kitzgos is ranked 28,028^th in the world and 770^th in The North Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 51.81 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
