The Contrarian Country of The Double Wing is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mister Head Coach with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 30.996 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 90.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Double Wingian economy, worth a remarkable 7,913 trillion Pig$kins a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 255,309 Pig$kins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn, the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, and soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out. 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 61,707th in the world and 521st in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
