Mushroom Wonderland is the region where your wildest and most psychotic dreams come true (literally), the place where personal freedom and political strength join together in a beautiful and colourful joint. You just have to light it up!

Politics

Elections

Frequent elections are held to appoint the UN Delegate. The elections proceed by having all notions in the region remove all their endorsements and then only give out one endorsment to the region they feel should be the delegate. This method seems to be fairer than the default endorsement system as it reduces the "endorsement for an endorsement" method that some nations use to gain popularity. However as this is a system only enforced by peer pressure, it is still open to abuse.

Delegates of the region

• Hampster Squared (27 September 2005 -
• The Indias To be Found (the past - 27 September 2005)

Religion

Religion plays a suprisingly large part in the region; well, the choice of religious leader does at least. Currently the idea of a non-denominational spiritual leader is being discussed. This is due in part, to the disagreements, divides, and assasinations over previous choices of Pope (as the postition was known until now).

Spiritual leader

Known as a Pope or non-denominational spiritual leader, depending on what takes peoples fancy at the time. Democratic elections are held for this position with any nation who wishes nominating a candidate.

Upcoming papal elections

The issue of a new pope (or non-denominational spiritual leader, to use the approved term) has come up again. Current candidates for the position are Cardinal Papa Txuna, Larry the Rainbot and more recently Lo Said Dracma.

There seems to be an increasing interest in this election and things are picking up. It appears that some of the candidates are in a "who can get the highest" competition. Bear in mind that this is through the use of drugs and not step ladders.

Previous candidates

• Cardinal Richelieu - Died in prison under mysterious cirumstances on 7 October 2005.
• Pope Mushroom II - Assasinated, many believe by Cardinal Richelieu.
• Pope Mushroom I - Loved by all peoples of Mushroom Wonderland, Pope Mushroom I, The Wise, The King of King-Size Paper Joints, The Great, The Eternal, played a crucial role in the first steps of the region. A symbol of unity, respect and freedom, The Great One managed to keep the region together without any kid of conflicts for all the time of His papacy. He is still remembered as the most prominent human being the region has ever witnessed. Following His death caused by severe dysentery while sleeping (the legend says He ate The Final Mushroom, a magic mushroom so powerful He's still dreaming in an after-life twisted world), Pope Mushroom's funeral was a mark in history and an opportunity for all peoples of Mushroom Wonderland to show their respect and love for this unforgettable Pope. The First Pope and the Greatest one!

Community

It is hard at times to tell how strong the sense of community is in Mushroom Wonderland. With so many nations all with different styles of leadership it can seem as if they would never get along, and they don't at times. But thankfully this is usually limited to the debates over who will be the next Pope. There are some groups of nations in the region who started off together in a completely different region altogether, and this can lead to a stronger sense of community between those particular nations.

Membership

The majority of the nations in Mushroom Wonderland are members of the UN. This comes to some 29 nations out of the region's total of 46. However not all the nations lead an active life in the region and this means that the UN delegate can often hold their position with less than 10 endorsements

Founder

• The Indias To be Found

The founder of Mushroom Wonderland has often taken a very active role in the region, but at the moment has withdrawn partially from the politics and chaos of the region to attend to domestic commitments.

Current

Past

Nations that have moved on - be it in the hope of new opportunities or in a coffin.
