The Colony of Mushroom Planet is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Governor-General Toadi with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, sprawling nuclear power plants, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 4.744 billion Mushroom Colonists have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Peachtown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Mushroom Colonial economy, worth 614 trillion Gold Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 129,588 Gold Coins, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, no one engages in 'locker room talk' any more, and visions of giant pink Cobrat Snakes are a common side effect after Mushroom Colonists eat their meals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mushroom Planet's national animal is the Cobrat Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Astrotheology.

Mushroom Planet is ranked 119,957^th in the world and 6^th in Valkia for Safest, scoring 75.35 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
