Sports events, such as kart racing, golf, and tennis, have become highly popular during Princess Peach's reign, drawing large crowds to see her compete with other royalty, local heroes, and companions. Mushrooms, which are the namesake of the kingdom, are also deeply ingrained in the culture: both Toads and Goombas bear a resemblance to Mushrooms, the kingdom’s population often live in mushroom-like houses and the Kingdom’s flag and emblem also depict Mushrooms.
Governmental Structure
The Mushroom Kingdom's governement type can be described as a semi-constitutional monarchy. The Kingdom's government is lead by the royal court, with the monarch, current reigning member of the human house of Toadstool, at its head. Within the royal court, there are the 7 Mushroom Retainers who discuss the kingdom's policies in meetings held in Peach's Castle. Other members of the court include the steward of the monarch, currently Toadsworth, who serves as advisor and Toadbert, who collects information for the court. Due to Peach's parents dying early in her life, there was no monarch elligable to take power during her childhood. Because of this situation, the Chancellor ruled as regent, taking over the duties the monarch would normally have untill Peach was fit to take to the throne. Currently, the chancellor doesn't hold much power in the court anymore and Peach has taken over all her duties as head of the court.
State insitutions

Security
The Mushroom Kingdom does not have a military. The Mushroom Kingdom has historically relied on the Stars to help with threats, such as the Star Sprites to help with the Dark Star long ago. With the help of the stars, the kingdom has likely been peaceful for centuries, thus there was no need for a military force. The furthest extent of Toad Town security is the royal guard, a group of guards that guard Toad Town and Peach's Castle from external threats, but have been shown incapable against the forces of the Koopa Kingdom and various other threats, thus the kingdom has relied on Mario's help since the Koopa Kingdom's first invasion. Since that event, the Mushroom Kingdom has been defending in a protracted struggle for power with the Koopa Kingdom. The military of the Koopa Kingdom, the Koopa Troop, often occupies much of the kingdom, building fortresses, towers and castles.
