The Heteregality of Mushcap is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Paceman with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 27.759 billion Shroomans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fungorum. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shrooman economy, worth a remarkable 6,499 trillion Sh'uums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 234,149 Sh'uums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Planes with cockpit glass are reserved for the top pilots, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying, and the government now pays the "Really Awesome Super Heroes" (RASH) to catch evildoers. Crime is totally unknown. Mushcap's national animal is the Mushroom cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Mushcap is ranked 306,064th in the world and 22nd in Sonnel for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 16.07 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
