The Kingdom of Vinland-Riki is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Frederik X with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.328 billion Vinlandics are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Defense, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of København. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The very strong Vinland-Rikian economy, worth 229 trillion Vínlensk krónas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 69,091 Vínlensk krónas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 359,025 per year while the poor average 7,189, a ratio of 49.9 to 1.

Hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, the full title of Hon King Frederik X Vcte Mgve MF KVRLM GCVRE runs to several pages, and an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Vinland-Riki's national animal is the Hafgufa, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Vinland-Riki is ranked 160,129^th in the world and 115^th in Africa for Most Extreme, scoring 18.19 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
