The Republic of Wingoul is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Flightless with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 11.115 billion Wingoulians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wingoul City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Wingoulian economy, worth a remarkable 2,229 trillion Wings a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 200,578 Wings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 663,198 per year while the poor average 45,349, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Where your food came from is an unknowable mystery, the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, museums offer moralization or your money back, and the media seems excessively interested in what Queen Flightless is wearing this season. Crime is totally unknown. Wingoul's national animal is the Dodo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Order of No Wing.

Wingoul is ranked 144,571^st in the world and 142^nd in The League for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 32.61 Effective Tax Rate.
