The Republic of Magic Shrooms is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, hatred of cheese, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.031 billion Magic Shroomsians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, liberal government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Administration, Environment, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Education are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Magic Shroomsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,387 trillion currencies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 172,746 currencies, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians are often seen drinking soft drinks at the end of every public address, police and sick people alike fear the Day of Rest as all institutions are forced to shut down, immigrant teachers use fat stacks of cash as teaching aids, and inter-species marriages are ignored by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Magic Shrooms's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Magic Shrooms is ranked 2,161st in the world and 32nd in Vickenian experiment incubator for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 11,432 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
