The Founder of Kitwe is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The humorless, devout population of 30.372 billion Kitweans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kitwe. The average income tax rate is 84.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Kitwean economy, worth a remarkable 2,833 trillion cashes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 93,276 cashes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

It isn't a secret plot without caviar and foie gras, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, and residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants. Crime is all-pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Kitwe's national animal is the beast, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kitwe is ranked 280,909^th in the world and 3^rd in Zambia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 22.79 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
