The Wayward City Coalition of Interrobang is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mayor of Typoerr with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, flagrant waste-dumping, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.407 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Typoerr. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Interrobanging economy, worth 282 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 amazing 200,894 punctuations, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

The children of Interrobang are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, anti-riot police are dispatched whenever two elderly ladies gather to complain that prices have increased, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry. 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 52,146th in the world and 4th in Regionless for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,674.08 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
