The State of The Wild Horse is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 34.876 billion Wild Riders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia Heights. The average income tax rate is 15.6%.

The strong Wild Horsean economy, worth a remarkable 1,386 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 39,747 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, The Wild Horse has designated Columbia Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of The Wild Horse in an international press conference. Crime is moderate. The Wild Horse's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Wild Horse is ranked 264,604^th in the world and 600^th in United States of America for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.71 kickbacks per hour.
