The Empire of Habsburg Mexico is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Empress María Isabel with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.082 billion Mexicans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mexico City. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Mexican economy, worth 437 trillion Imperial Pesos a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,031 Imperial Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out, a girl's success in life is often linked to her performance in beauty pageants, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, and napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Habsburg Mexico's national animal is the Mexican Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Habsburg Mexico is ranked 30,160^th in the world and 1,069^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
