The Shroom Empire of New Mushroom Kingdom is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kid-Emperor Napoleon II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 30.004 billion Mushrooms are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toad Town. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mushroomian economy, worth an astonishing 12,306 trillion mushroom coins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 410,177 mushroom coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Death row inmates cower in fear at the phrase "one-year anniversary", there is a disproportionate number of poor people in prison, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, and Kid-Emperor Napoleon II is considering changing the nation's name to Blackacre. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Mushroom Kingdom's national animal is the mushroom, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

New Mushroom Kingdom is ranked 7,861^st in the world and 1^st in Vissella for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,474.85 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
