The Shroom Empire of New Mushroom Kingdom is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Emperor Napoleon I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.091 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Mushroom City. The average income tax rate is 89%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, the number of children one can have is restricted by law, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. New Mushroom Kingdom's national animal is the mushroom, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the mushroom coin.

New Mushroom Kingdom is ranked 9th in Vissella and 123,828th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -25 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
