The Vineyard Laden Bastions of Vinslott is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jesper Fridén with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, otherworldly petting zoo, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.989 billion Vinslottars enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Förslott. The average income tax rate is 15.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vinslottian economy, worth 829 trillion Kronars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 166,280 Kronars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, stylish juvenile delinquents are highly overrepresented in fatal motorcycle accidents, and Förslott's flashy holiday light displays can be seen from space. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vinslott's national animal is the Ulf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vinslott is ranked 3,588^th in the world and 10^th in Nordic Lands for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 140,007.88 Standard Monetary Units.
