Runa-Lisandra Bartolucci Kârjasary, Countess of Sainte-Bérénice IOB SOF (runa maría lisandra kodavái-rosavái bartolutxi karjasari, 24 July 2006 – 3 September 2019) was a Sabioveronese companion, former politician and President of the defunct Union of Artaghe, who held many micronational titles and offices in the Valtir Sector from the creation of the Holy Dussesh Empire. She was a prominent member of the House of Kârjasary, which has formerly held various royal titles in the Valtir.

Bartolucci was commonly known for having served as President of the now-defunct Union of Artaghe for a one-month term in June 2012. She served as the Union's first President and was succeeded by Aina Oehler. In her latter days, she was widely regarded a hero of micronationalism in Sabia and Verona and a national symbol of the Valtir Sector.

Early and personal life

Runa was born on 24 July, 2006, in a small farm in Vía Jají, Campo Elías, in Western Venezuela. She was adopted by the Kârjasary family shortly after her birth, and given as a birthday present to Tarik Kârjasary. She briefly had a relationship in 2010, which lasted until 2011. By the time of her death, she resided in Salisse, in Sabia, but was affiliated to the Vaaitos Prefecture as a citizen of the Town of Ejariveen.

Bartolucci died on 3 September 2013 of natural causes by old age, in the Sabioveronese town of Bal. She was 13 years old. Her body was interred in Elinore.

Micronationalism

She was named heir of the Holy Dussesh Empire, bearing the title of Magravine in April 2011. With the creation of the Kingdom of Montblanc and San Joan, she received the title Princess of Manú, and remained heir to the Montblancqi throne until the dissolution of the Kingdom. She was again heir-apparent of the Berinese Confederation as protégée of the Berinese Emperor, Tarik Kârjasary.

She was elected President of the short-lived Union of Artaghe on 1 June 2012 following an emergency election of the Artaghean Parliament. Her term was categorized as "undemocratic" and extremely inactive, and it was criticized by many due to the fact the Union had a dog for president. She left office after a month on 1 July 2012, having Aina Oehler as successor.

In July 2012, it was announced that she would be featured in the second series of the Artaghean lýrur baknotes, in the 60 lýrir bill, the highest denomination. She has been compared to the former St.Charlian President Whisky I.

After a long period of inactivity, she returned to micronational scene as appointed saeroben (Proto-Sabiolycene for "companion") of the King of Lycem in the Royal Court. Her position as saeroben lasted for one year until the Lycene Monarchy was disestablished and Lycem became part of Sabia and Verona. In Sabia and Verona, she was regarded as a hero of micronationalism, and was awarded several honours. She was generally considered a member of the former Lycene royal family. From September 2014 she counted with citizenship of Sabia and Verona, affiliated with the Town of Ejariveen in Vaaitos, Lycem.

Legacy

The Countess of Sainte-Bérénice is generally held as a national symbol of Sabia and Verona. Her interventions in micronational politics, her proximity to the Royal Household and her general status as a nonpartisan cultural icon have made her an icon of Valtirian culture. The Dependency of Doga Runann (lit. "Land of Runa", in Sabian), a nature reserve made up of land claimed by the Sabioveronese state in 2018, bears her name. Her successor as chief companion of the Royal Household, Harái Runa Kodavái, was also named after her.
