The Contrarian Country of The Double Wing is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mister Head Coach with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and national health service. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 36.34 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 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Double Wingian economy, worth a remarkable 9,667 trillion Pig$kins a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 266,036 Pig$kins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Buildings are experiencing some new ten-ants, citizens have to dodge their neighbors' drones while getting the morning paper, the clock on unfettered access to social media is ticking, and new regulations have put a halt to monkey business. 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 329,381st in the world and 634th in NationStates for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -17.62 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
