The Slightly Confused Land of Wilkosaurous rex is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.229 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashryvewr. The average income tax rate is 86%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, the Wilkosaurous rex Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, students cut up leftover Meteors during Arts and Crafts, and recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable. Crime is totally unknown. Wilkosaurous rex's national animal is the Lemming, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Meteor.

Wilkosaurous rex is ranked 46th in England and 96,212th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -28 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
