The Warren of Run Rabbit Run is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Bugs Bunny with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.043 billion Run Rabbit Runians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hopalong. The average income tax rate is 60.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Run Rabbit Runian economy, worth a remarkable 2,908 trillion carrots a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,322 carrots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Fruit market traders let their stock spoil rather than reduce their prices at the day's end, scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls, the Hopalong Women's Prison Choir now has a baritone section, and a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Run Rabbit Run's national animal is the rabbit, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Carrotism.

Run Rabbit Run is ranked 268,524th in the world and 6,528th in the Rejected Realms for Most Primitive, scoring -230.79 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
