The Great Technocratic Republic of Nova Vinelandia is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.354 billion Nova Vinelandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of L'Anse aux Meadows. The average income tax rate is 30.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nova Vinelandian economy, worth 375 trillion Runes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,234 Runes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's webseries about the alleged hauntings of L'Anse aux Meadows generates millions of views, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, and explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nova Vinelandia's national animal is the Cod, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nova Vinelandia is ranked 10,548^th in the world and 15^th in Sparkalia for Nicest Citizens, with 32.15 average smiles per day.
