The Contrarian Country of The Double Wing is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mister Head Coach with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 36.253 billion Double Wingers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Double Wingian economy, worth a remarkable 9,643 trillion Pig$kins a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 266,009 Pig$kins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, down payment blues in foreign nations are a thing of the past, murder suspects plead the 'there was a rat beneath his chef's hat' defense, and foreign entanglements are getting spicy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 330,444th in the world and 701st in NationStates for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -20.93 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
