The Founding Republic of Vinoria is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Keyotas III The Founder with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.083 billion Vinorians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castelo de Vin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.

The strong Vinorian economy, worth 121 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 58,537 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, video evidence of cruel animal experiments tends to be of poor quality, the latest superhero movie features a caped gray wolf with adamantium claws, and Keyotas III The Founder's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Vinoria's national animal is the gray wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cultism.

Vinoria is ranked 8,291^st in the world and 2^nd in Puppet Bay for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,020.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
