The Holy Empire of Vinezius is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 104 million Vineziusians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 19.9%.

The Vineziusian economy, worth 5.49 trillion stidets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,795 stidets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and the death penalty has been reintroduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vinezius's national animal is the Pheonix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vinezius is ranked 114,556^th in the world and 285^th in Starlight for Highest Poor Incomes, with 27,632.17 Standard Monetary Units.
