The Kingdom of Mex Laing is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Louis XIV with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, rampant corporate plagiarism, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate population of 1.671 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 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Mex Laingian economy, worth 176 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 significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 105,448 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most ambassadors from Mex Laing retire only a few years after being appointed, the public are enjoying a royal flush of tax cuts, adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, and vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR. 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 226,130^th in the world and 616^th in Horizon for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -1.55 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
