The Kingdom of Mex Laing is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Louis XIV with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.523 billion Mex Laingians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vida Lerde. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Mex Laingian economy, worth 160 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 105,335 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, glamping Mex Laingians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mex Laing's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mex Laing is ranked 13,961^st in the world and 24^th in Horizon for Most Cultured, scoring 100 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
