The Genderqueer Mage of Vinelandian Berserker is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 1.659 billion Vinelandian Berserkerians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Vinelandian Berserkerian economy, worth 10.8 trillion Runes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 6,493 Runes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vinelandian Berserker's national animal is the Cod, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Vinelandian Berserker is ranked 180,642nd in the world and 37th in The Infinite Army for Most Primitive, scoring -70.71 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
