The Federation of Mushet is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Mush with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 35.344 billion Mushis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mortal Valley. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Mushi economy, worth an astonishing 13,008 trillion Mushi Notes a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 368,062 Mushi Notes, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, a sincere statement of belief can get you out of anything, people with dyslexia are told to tough through it, and pinkie promises are a matter of life and death. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mushet's national animal is the Condor, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Mushet is ranked 263,087^th in the world and 34^th in North America for Most Influential, scoring 32 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
