The King of All Wild Things is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Maurice Sendup with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 13.979 billion Wild Things have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized 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 55.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Wild economy, worth a remarkable 1,555 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, Retail, and Gambling. 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 111,282 hot suppers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists are pillars of society, Max Barry finally has time for writing books after NationStates was recently outlawed, married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, and community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home. 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 65,269^th in the world and 1^st in Where the Wild Things Are for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 49,965.94 Standard Monetary Units.
