The Great Technocratic Republic of Nova Vinelandia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.721 billion Nova Vinelandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of L'Anse aux Meadows. The average income tax rate is 39.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Nova Vinelandian economy, worth 508 trillion Runes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,952 Runes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens spend millions on microtransactions to feed virtual orphans while actual orphans starve overseas, the police have been reduced to using duct tape instead of handcuffs following further cutbacks, visual acuity is worsening amongst teenagers, and puppies given out free in marketing promotions are often tossed straight into the trash. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nova Vinelandia's national animal is the Cod, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Nova Vinelandia is ranked 273,767th in the world and 129th in Sparkalia for Most Authoritarian, with 230.04 milliStalins.
