The Republic of Road Runner is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 443 million Road Runnerians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 47.9%.

The sizeable but inefficient Road Runnerian economy, worth 16.8 trillion florins a year, is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,914 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation, edutainment video games are taking Road Runner's students to the next level, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, and the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Road Runner's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Road Runner is ranked 249,443^rd in the world and 58^th in Collections for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
