The Republic of Kitann is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 92 million Kitannians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kitannian economy, worth 4.28 trillion Kiters a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,542 Kiters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

People eagerly queue days at A&E to wait for their free healthcare, attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, and the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes. Crime is totally unknown. Kitann's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kitann is ranked 306,330^th in the world and 1,432^nd in Europe for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -4.47 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
