Etymology
The name Vinalia comes from the Vinakian word Vinaki which means people. It's believed that upon contact with Narozalican traders who misunderstood the name believing it be the native name for the area which the Vinakians call Axakaqa (Red Bay) which named it after the reflection the sun gave to the water, instead of the name of the people Q'ij Vinaki (Sun people).

Military
The People’s Defence Force is tasked with the defence of the Vinalian Sovereignty and interests, it’s divided into the People’s Army, People’s Navy, People’s Air Force, People’s Coast Guard, and the People’s Guard. The People’s Guard is a provincial level unit under the command of Provincial Governors. Although the Army has been fully professional since 1992, the People’s Guard relies on Conscripts to fulfill its role, this is to ensure that there will always be a 50/50 division between Northerners and Southerners, but Military Service is not required of those conscripted with civil duty jobs available. Vinalia has undergone rapid demilitarization from the Civil War going from around 750,000 between both Vinalia’s to some 100,000 plus 25,000 People’s Guard. By law expenditure may not exceed 1.5% of GDP in peacetime, unless approved by both houses of Parliament and the Constituent Houses.
