Run (also known as Pulau Run, Pulo Run, Puloroon, or Rhun-- pulau is "island" in Indonesian) is one of the smallest islands of the Banda Islands, which are a part of the Moluccas, Indonesia. In 1616, fearing the Dutch, the natives of the island pledged their allegiance to the employees of English East India Company, who accepted it on behalf of the Crown. According to historian John Keay who considers Pulo Run as the genesis of the British Empire : "As the island of Runnymede is to British constitutional history, so the island of Run is to British imperial history"
