The Holy Empire of Mexistadt is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.665 billion Mexistadtians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Mexistadtian economy, worth a remarkable 4,712 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 228,035 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes the property of the recently deceased, whole-wheat loaves are sold under the counter in brown paper bags, only "purebloods" are allowed in the nicer parts of town, and arts classes now teach children how to sketch the perfect sine curve. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mexistadt's national animal is the mule, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mexistadt is ranked 8,278^th in the world and 3^rd in Wintercrest for Highest Average Incomes, with 228,035.34 Standard Monetary Units.
