The Wilderness Territory of Hunting is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ted Nugent with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.841 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Education, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of a Deer Hunting Camp. The average income tax rate is 83%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism industries.

Referenda are held for every conceivable government action, Hunting's famous countrysides are shrouded by wind farms, all footpaths have tollbooths, and the government is giving peace a chance. Crime is totally unknown. Hunting's national animal is the Tenderloin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Shooting Deers and Drinking Beers, and its currency is the Antler.

Hunting is ranked 186th in 10000 Islands and 1,159th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 140 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
