Wintaro (/wɪnˈtɑːroʊ/ win-tah-roh, abbreviated as WT) is a state in Craftia's south. It borders Meyang to the north-east, Kagstron to the north-west, Berhardsson to the east and Jagsland to the south. Its capital is Oronton, while the largest city is Novena.

Wintaro is the second-least populous state and is geographically the smallest state. It is almost landlocked except for a small eastern coastline along Feng Shui Bay. Its main industries are agriculture (especially in the northern corner of the state) and manufacturing in the urban centres. The state is well known as an outlier in political views, with Wintaro having a reputation for being generally more conservative than other states. Wintaro was the last state to legalise voluntary euthanasia, abolish gerrymandering in state elections, and decriminalise prostitution. The state frequently votes differently to other states in federal referendums.

Wintaro remains Craftia's only White-majority state, harking back to its origins as a European-established colony with de facto anti-Asian policies (including the precursor to the White Craftia Policy). Today Asians form more than 42.5% of the population compared to Europeans' 50.9%.
