The King of All Wild Things is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Maurice Sendup with an even hand, and notable for its lack of airports, compulsory vegetarianism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 14.024 billion Wild Things enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

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 54.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Wild economy, worth a remarkable 1,598 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 large, well-organized, 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 113,984 hot suppers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, immigrants who carry knives on them are presumed to be chefs, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major 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 183,529^th in the world and 2^nd in Where the Wild Things Are for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
