Connnection to Vinland
Bespon has control over the non-self-governing territory of Vinland, primarily because Vinland is largely uninhabited and parts of it are privately owned by the leaders of Bespon. Grapes are the sole significant crop cultivated in Vinland. These grapes are first transported to Bespon and then sold. Additionally, the flag of Vinland features a grape, symbolizing its agricultural significance.
Flag
The flag of Bespon comprises two horizontal stripes, one green and the other red. On the left side of the flag, there is a yellow triangle extending towards the center. This design is a simplified version of the original flag of Bespon, which included an image of a grape. The grape symbolizes the family tradition of winemaking in Bespon.
