The Most Serene Kingdom of Vinstin is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Serene Kaiseri Teijo the IV with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, national health service, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 36.395 billion Vinstalaiset are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sulanutpaikka. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vinstalien economy, worth a remarkable 3,189 trillion Markkaa a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,647 Markkaa, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, practising saying 'how now brown cow' is an essential part of holiday planning, the only women behind bars are barmaids, and courtrooms can be a little sketchy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vinstin's national animal is the Northern Black Goose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Blessed Orthodox Church of Vinstin.

Vinstin is ranked 11,387^th in the world and 163^rd in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 98.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
