The Kingdom of Runar State is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Éira Lársen with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.651 billion Runáris are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stór Baein u Timí. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.7%.

The thriving Runári economy, worth 170 trillion lutis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 64,353 lutis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 205,853 per year while the poor average 15,276, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

Sick Runáris are hair today and gone tomorrow, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, protestors are soaking piles of lutis in blood to make a point about government incomes, and a few people seem to spend their whole time complaining. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Runar State's national animal is the dúlfun, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Runar State is ranked 115,008th in the world and 147th in Communitas for Highest Average Incomes, with 64,354 Standard Monetary Units.
