If I had to say my recollection, it would be that the Wilds government
type was only a range from 1-6, but that 1-6 digit looked identical to the
1-6 digit of a non-Wilds gov't type, so you couldn't tell, "is that a Type
4 regular government, or a type 4 Wilds government? And the way to tell
was if it had a "Wi" code, it was a Wilds gov't, otherwise a standard UPP
government.
Maybe that's right, maybe not.
