The Mort Union of Infected Mushroom is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by IM with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 21.86 billion citizens 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crayon City. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Infected Mushroomian economy, worth a remarkable 9,045 trillion Kefkaris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 413,774 Kefkaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Infected Mushroomian Liberator". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Infected Mushroom's national animal is the Pixie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Infected Mushroom is ranked 5,799^th in the world and 1^st in Mount Olympus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 112.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
