The Estados Unidos Mexicanos of Tallahan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Luis Echeverría Álvarez with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.343 billion Mexicanoes are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, although Education, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad de México. The average income tax rate is 57.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Tallahanian economy, worth 142 trillion Peso Mexicanoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 32,853 Peso Mexicanoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Department of Reduction of Bureaucratic Red Tape has set up a working committee to investigate its own excessive paperwork, Tallahan has designated Ciudad de México as its capital city, State Secularism has been named as Tallahan's national religion, and Luis Echeverría Álvarez has just been declared ruler of Tallahan in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tallahan's national animal is the Aguila Dorado, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Secularism.

Tallahan is ranked 198,994^th in the world and 238^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Highest Food Quality, scoring 12.02 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
