The Contrarian Country of The Double Wing is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mister Head Coach with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 31.039 billion Double Wingers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Gridiron Majesty. The average income tax rate is 90.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Double Wingian economy, worth a remarkable 7,931 trillion Pig$kins a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 255,543 Pig$kins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

A new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, workers for the environmental protection agency are patted down for tartar sauce every morning, and a flying elephant and Mister Head Coach share the same nickname. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Double Wing's national animal is the Double Wing'd Boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Fellowship of the Wing.

The Double Wing is ranked 221,570th in the world and 726th in NationStates for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 25,043.3 Standard Monetary Units.
