The Sultanate of Runairan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sultan Alayranir with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.872 billion Runairanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Al Airan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Runairanian economy, worth 284 trillion sardinias a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,850 sardinias, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Postcards from Runairanian driving test centres are popular souvenirs, games of cops and robbers typically end in at least one fatal shooting, politicians live in luxury, and titles of nobility are packaged with Runairanian citizenship in invite-only auctions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Runairan's national animal is the metal hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Sunni Islam.

Runairan is ranked 6,078^th in the world and 32^nd in 10000 Islands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,625.71 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
