The Holy Empire of Kay Pacha is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 242 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, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.5%.

The sizeable but inefficient Rūnamanta economy, worth 13.4 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, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 55,472 statutory corvées, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

Kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, breaking rocks in the hot sun now involves using your head, golden statues of llamas line the memorial avenues of the Funerary District, and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive 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 58,574^th in the world and 58^th in Ridgefield for Most Beautiful Environments, with 661.59 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
