The Federal Republic of Vinland Kasheer is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 189 million Kaeshirs live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 9.1%.

The powerhouse Vinland Kasheerian economy, worth 12.7 trillion Spices a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 67,249 Spices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, artists are pillars of society, games of cops and robbers typically end in at least one fatal shooting, and it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food'. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Vinland Kasheer's national animal is the Haput, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vinland Kasheer is ranked 47,171^st in the world and 89^th in Wintreath for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 155.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
