The Holy Empire of Kay Pacha is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 294 million Rūnakūna are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Çunɥuñuco'oŋ. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.3%.

The Rūnamanta economy, worth 20.3 trillion statutory corvées a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 69,106 statutory corvées, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

No personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, babysitters are a thing of the past, and peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kay Pacha's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kay Pacha is ranked 207,071st in the world and 83rd in Ridgefield for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -1.79 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
