The You say you never wanted of Wildthyme on Top is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, pith helmet sales, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.257 billion Wildthyme on Topians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 35.1%.

The all-consuming Wildthyme on Topian economy, worth 563 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,167 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

On-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life, Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wildthyme on Top's national animal is the kiwi.

Wildthyme on Top is ranked 267,495th in the world and 308th in Viridian Sound for Most Cultured, scoring 60 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
