The Mikulight of Vintrel is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.84 billion Vintrelli are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roccataleno. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The thriving Vintrelli economy, worth 367 trillion uans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 95,730 uans, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 327,870 per year while the poor average 20,532, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, people eagerly queue days at A&E to wait for their free healthcare, and pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vintrel's national animal is the crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Vintrel is ranked 51,099^th in the world and 55^th in Starlight for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 15.97 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
