Vinlandia is the northern continent of the western hemisphere. Norwegian settlers when they first arrived on the continent named it Vinland, after the fabled lands discovered by Erik the Red. When word was received by other nations they began calling it Vinlandia, to differentiate it from the Norwegian colonies.
