“Without the People, There Wouldn't Be Such Large Crowds”

The Commonwealth of Really Wild Stuff is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its parental licensing program. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 14.87 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

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 the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Really Wild Stuff City. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, anti-government web sites are springing up, coelacanths are considered a delicacy, and children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "Love and peace!" as a way of life. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Really Wild Stuff's national animal is the coelacanth, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the ducat.

Really Wild Stuff is ranked 4th in the region and 102nd in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens.
