The Colony of Fungal Freaks is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Wise and All-Knowing Mushroom with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.471 billion Freaky Funglers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fungal Wastes. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fungal Freak economy, worth 391 trillion Balls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 158,608 Balls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Subsistence farmers require doctorates in applied sowing, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Fungal Freaks's national animal is the sans, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fungal Freaks is ranked 73,853^rd in the world and 3^rd in Einmarken for Nicest Citizens, with 15.9 average smiles per day.
