The Republic of Vin Cries is a mammoth, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 6.988 billion Vin Criesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.8%.

The Vin Criesian economy, worth 278 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 39,836 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vin Cries's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Vin Cries is ranked 288,877^th in the world and 35^th in The Apolean Frontiers for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -6.72 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
