The Commissariat of Vinteriana is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by First Commissioner Borich Hasdt with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.054 billion Vinterianans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ordey. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vinterianan economy, worth 494 trillion Flok-marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,032 Flok-marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Money grows on trees, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, and the 'sing-a-long with First Commissioner Borich Hasdt' album is a popular souvenir. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vinteriana's national animal is the Plain Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State atheism.

Vinteriana is ranked 17,581^st in the world and 86^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,436.31 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
