The Nomadic Peoples of Runkara is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by General Gabriel Fox with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The democratic population of 19.767 billion Runkarans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Camda. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Runkaran economy, worth 934 trillion aaches a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 47,283 aaches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, a government program is underway to revitalize Runkara's beaches, police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, and troops are either deafened by gunfire or a hysterical voice screaming the Party manifesto. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Runkara's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Runkara is ranked 24,429^th in the world and 34^th in Union of Free Nations for Most Influential, scoring 1,847 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
