The King of All Wild Things is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Maurice Sendup with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 18.772 billion Wild Things enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Max's room. The average income tax rate is 59.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Wild economy, worth a remarkable 2,104 trillion hot suppers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Gambling, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 112,113 hot suppers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, visitors to Self-Sufficiency National Park who ask for trail maps are handed a pen and a blank sheet of paper, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, and politicians no longer click with dating app matches. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. All Wild Things's national animal is the wild thing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

All Wild Things is ranked 273,325^th in the world and 4^th in Where the Wild Things Are for Lowest Crime Rates, with 42.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
