The Queendom of The Kitze is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Queen Bee with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.825 billion Kitzeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kit. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Kitzean economy, worth 193 trillion kites a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 40,120 kites, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Kitzean radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, and soldiers have swapped their uniforms for prisonwear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Kitze's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Religious Freedom.

The Kitze is ranked 141,365th in the world and 4th in NSLeft for Most Developed, scoring 56.33 on the Human Development Index.
