The People's Republic of Mexa Moobowistan is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 474 million Mexa Moobowistanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Machete. The average income tax rate is 62.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mexa Moobowistanian economy, worth 35.7 trillion machetes 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 large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Trout Farming, Arms 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 75,303 machetes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Science fiction invariably depicts socialist societies as Utopian, the caged-bird trade is singing, all the playground's a stage for Mexa Moobowistanian schoolchildren, and hotels often double as quarantine zones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mexa Moobowistan's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mexa Moobowistan is ranked 169,329^th in the world and 79^th in The Everlasting Kawaii Empire for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 687.51 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
