Vinland (Fidem Pacis)

The Dominion of Vinland is a North Leifrian country consisting of fifteen provinces and three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky Mountains and northward into the Arctic. Vinland is the second largest country in the world, and its common border with New France is the world's longest land border.

The land that is now Vinland has been inhabited for millennia by various aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the 10th century Norse, and later English and Welsh, expeditions explored and settled the region's Atlantic coast. The various colonies came under a single ruler in 1603 following the union of the English and Welsh crowns and in 1867 Vinland was formed as a federal dominion of eight provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy, culminating in the Vinland Acts 1982.

Vinland is a federal state governed as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with King David II as its head of state. The country is officially bilingual and multicultural at the federal level, with a population of approximately 45 million as of 2013. Vinland's advanced economy is one of the largest in the world, relying chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-developed trade networks, especially with New France, with which it has had a long and complex relationship.
