The King of All Wild Things is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Maurice Sendup with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, hatred of cheese, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 19.357 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 60.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Wild economy, worth a remarkable 2,160 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 111,587 hot suppers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

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, politicians no longer click with dating app matches, and autocrats are persona non grata. 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 43,878^th in the world and 1^st in Where the Wild Things Are for Smartest Citizens, with 46.81 quips per hour.
