The Founder of Kitwe is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and smutty television. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 30.742 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kitwe. The average income tax rate is 85.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Kitwean economy, worth a remarkable 2,844 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 92,530 cashes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, the nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them, apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, and diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them. Crime is 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 281,609th in the world and 2nd in Zambia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.63 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
