The Republic of Twisted Wings is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, humorless population of 30.01 billion Twisted Wingsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Twisted Wingsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,089 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 36,316 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The study of medicine is popular throughout Twisted Wings, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, and the public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twisted Wings's national animal is the kingfisher, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Twisted Wings is ranked 255,830^th in the world and 5^th in Catlandatopia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
