The Colony of Void Runners is a large, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 113 million Voiders 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 36.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Voidin economy, worth 3.98 trillion Atomic Particles 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. 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 35,264 Atomic Particles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

White strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, and extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Void Runners's national animal is the Wormhole.

Void Runners is ranked 113,304^th in the world and 26^th in The waters for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,938.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
