The Mort Union of Infected Mushroom is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by IM with an iron fist, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, anti-smoking policies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 23.469 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, with Environment, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crayon City. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Infected Mushroomian economy, worth an astonishing 10,193 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, quite specialized black market in Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 434,355 Kefkaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Straitjackets are a common religious garb, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, and the well-to-do in Mount Olympus are never on time for important appointments. 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 127,016th in the world and 3rd in Mount Olympus for Most Conservative, scoring 63.75 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
