The Holy Empire of Kay Pacha is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 265 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 Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Çunɥuñuco'oŋ. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.9%.

The sizeable but inefficient Rūnamanta economy, worth 15.6 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 Woodchip Exports. 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 58,754 statutory corvées, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, and police wait behind troop deployments in order to shoot deserters. 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 281,564th in the world and 112th in Ridgefield for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 9,459.47 Standard Monetary Units.
