The Federal Republic of Vindsberg is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Thorfin with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.532 billion Vindsbergians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brunholl. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vindsbergian economy, worth 217 trillion Kronor a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,856 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Third world countries are rich in "I Love Brunholl" t-shirts, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vindsberg's national animal is the Moose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Vindsberg is ranked 12,385^th in the world and 13^th in Scandinavia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 10,312.83 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
