The Commonwealth of Runionring is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 220 million Runionringians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 30.3%.

The sizeable but inefficient Runionringian economy, worth 10.1 trillion hello kitties a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,770 hello kitties, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, and citizens are constantly disappointed to find their nuisance neighbours are still alive. Crime is almost non-existent. Runionring's national animal is the meep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Runionring is ranked 217,733^rd in the world and 4,221^st in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
