Child labor has been outlawed, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, organ donation rates have hit a new low, and Harfang des neigess are considered a delicacy. Crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mascouche's national animal is the Harfang des neiges, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Piastre.

Mascouche is ranked 13th in Quebec and 69,827th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -14 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
