The Candyland of Mushmellow is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Mushmellow with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, otherworldly petting zoo, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.322 billion Musheans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mushmellow City. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Mushean economy, worth a remarkable 2,496 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 174,326 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, it isn't only obsequious grandees who produce a lot of manure at state occasions, and promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mushmellow's national animal is the ghost, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mushmellow is ranked 263,516th in the world and 8,763rd in Balder for Most Stationary, with 13.90150499192 days.
