The Great Technocratic Hegemony of Nova Vinelandia is a mammoth, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.695 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 Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of L'Anse aux Meadows. The average income tax rate is 40.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nova Vinelandian economy, worth 873 trillion Runes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,115 Runes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire, the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, and referenda are banned by law and the Parliament has absolute control of the legislative process. 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 4,147^th in the world and 4^th in Sparkalia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 373.23 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
