The Republic of Vinland, more commonly known as Vinland, is a micronation located on the US eastern coast, and founded on the 12th December 2022 by Alaixaiy Braus. It's Capital City is the city of Ceaburg.

Etymology

The name Vinland comes from the northern name of Vinland. It was used by the Danish explorers of the 10th century A.D to designate a land beyond the ocean they discovered (now known as Greenland) and which was at this time a symbol of hope and freedom for the Norsemen.

The use of this name was decided by the Prime Minister and former Prince of Vinland in order to reflect this ideal that Vinland tries to represent.

Politics in Vinland

The political regime of the Republic of Vinland is a Unitary semi-presidential Republic. Indeed the Legislative power is held by the Vinlandic Parliament, a bicameral legislative body, while the Executive Power is held by the President, and the Judiciary Power is handled by the Supreme Court. Due to the recent abolition of the One-Parti system in Vinland, there is currently only one active political parti, which is the President's parti: the Vinland United Forward (VUF).

The Government of the Republic of Vinland is divided into 4 ministries: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Citizenship, the Ministry of Defense & National Safety, the Ministry of Happiness, and the Ministry of Organization. Each Ministry has a various list of Department focusing on more specific aspects of Vinland.

However due to the system of designation for the Supreme Court, some people consider the political as an oligarchy , despite this accusation being rejected by the Government.
