The Vineyard Laden Bastions of Vinslott is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jesper Fridén with an even hand, and renowned for its digital currency, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.947 billion Vinslottars enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

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 15.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vinslottian economy, worth 820 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 165,943 Kronars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 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 292,273^rd in the world and 358^th in Nordic Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 8.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
