The Republic of Vinsania is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 386 million Vinsanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The powerhouse Vinsanian economy, worth 34.4 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 89,230 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road, nations that kill a Vinsanian can expect a strongly worded letter, and chanting protestors ask "WHAT DO WE WANT?" and reply "MORE OF THE SAME". Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Vinsania's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Vinsania is ranked 136,439^th in the world and 2^nd in Kithara for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 70.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
