History
Before the Terran Federative Empire was founded, Vinovia was home to a tribe which spoke language unrelated to any other known language. People from the south established the ancient Kingdom of Vinovia, which gradually assimilated the local population. The Terran Federative Empire defeated the Kingdom of Vinovia, and turned Vinovia into new North Province. Vladimir Demidov was a vinovian socialist philosopher who was executed by order of the Terran Emperor. In year 1443, the Communist Party led Vinovia in successful rebellion against the empire, inspired by the writings of Demidov.

Politics
Vinovia is led by the Communist Party of Vinovia. The most important part of the party is the Revolutionary Council, which is comprised of the party members who led the rebellion against the Terran Federative Empire. The Central Committee of the Communist Party is comprised of all members of the Revolutionary Council and several representatives elected by all party members.

The parliament of Vinovia is the Supreme Soviet. Elections are held every four years. Vinovia is divided into 900 electoral districts, each of which has a party committee. Every election, 300 electoral districts are selected at random and any one can run in that district. In the remaining 600 electoral districts, the local party committee selects two candidates.
