The Royal Maritime Union of New Vinland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Richard Whittington with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 26.102 billion New Vinlanders enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Montreal. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Vinlandic economy, worth a remarkable 3,891 trillion Maritime Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,075 Maritime Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics, even secular New Vinlanders are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Prime Minister Richard Whittington, and school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Vinland's national animal is the Canada Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The National Council on Faith Diversity.

New Vinland is ranked 5,312th in the world and 17th in Canada for Most Cultured, scoring 162 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
