The Dominion of Vinther is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 181 million Vintherians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.1%.
The Vintherian economy, worth 9.68 trillion Solis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 53,485 Solis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.
New treatments are rejected if they cannot be explained using only one-syllable words, the dictionary is a common first book for children, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, and the urban poor thumbs down the new hitchhiking ban.
