The Wayward City Coalition of Interrobang is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mayor of Typoerr with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and astonishingly minimal parenting. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.389 billion Interrobangers 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Typoerr. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Interrobanging economy, worth 275 trillion punctuations a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 198,088 punctuations, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Most fires are already out by the time the bucket brigade gets to them, international terrorists often get their weapons supply in Interrobang, retail stores are known for creating their own oddly-similar holidays in the months preceding any major festivity, and Mayor of Typoerr is worshipped as a god. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Interrobang's national animal is the typo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Linguistics.

Interrobang is ranked 13,965th in the world and 6th in Regionless for Most Cultured, scoring 100 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
