The United Confederation of Vinnlande is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Vincent with an even hand, and renowned for its restrictive gun laws. Its hard-nosed population of 8.937 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aywer. The average income tax rate is 93%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology.

Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in King Vincent's bedroom. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vinnlande's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Vunzjo.

Vinnlande is ranked 44th in Yggdrasil and 8,746th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 43 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
