The Holy Empire of Mexistadt is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, infamous sell-swords, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.732 billion Mexistadtians, 8.884 billion of whom are zombies, 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 79.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Mexistadtian economy, worth a remarkable 4,719 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 227,658 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Pedants defending Leader observe that psychopaths and sociopaths aren't exactly the same thing, life no longer finds a way, the attempt to control the weather has ended in environmental disaster, and soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets. 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 21,194^th in the world and 4^th in Wintercrest for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 25,439.12 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
