The Mort Union of Infected Mushroom is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by IM with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 21.704 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crayon City. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Infected Mushroomian economy, worth a remarkable 8,922 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 black market in Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. 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 411,083 Kefkaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Crayon City, veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, and suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence. 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 5,749th in the world and 1st in Mount Olympus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 112.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
