The Republic of Wango Tango is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Ted Nugent with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, rampant corporate plagiarism, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 9.099 billion Wango Tangoans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amboy Duke. The average income tax rate is 26.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Wango Tangoan economy, worth 856 trillion Guitars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,091 Guitars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, and economics is a shrinking field. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wango Tango's national animal is the Kitty Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vedulism.

Wango Tango is ranked 35,065^th in the world and 3^rd in Allied conservative Union for Largest Black Market, with 42.6 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
