The '''United States of Mexregiona''', commonly referred to as '''Mexregiona''' ({{IPAc-en|m|ɛ|k|s|.|'|r|iː|.|dʒ|i|.|'|oʊ|.|n|ə}}), is an island country located off the northwestern coast of [[Novaris]], to the north of Infinite Loop. Approximately half of the country lies above the Rotantic Circle. The country was a founding member of the [[League of Novaris]] in 2017, and is home to the headquarters of the [[Rotantic Congress]], which was established in Dropdatderp in 2000. In 2021, Mexregiona was elected to serve on the [[International Forum]] Security Council.
Sapient inhabitation of what is now Mexregiona is dated to as early as 25,000 years BP (Before Present). Scholars debate whether the ailurine or nekomimi species reached the island first, as both appear to have been present very early after the end of the Last Glacial Maximum and the Rotantic ice sheet receded. Ursines began migrating to the area approximately 3,000 years BP, though most continued on to mainland Novaris. Mexregiona has long been an important trading port and travel destination between Novaris and Yasteria. The etymology of the name “Mexregiona” is unknown, and is recorded as early as 1150 BCE.

Modern Mexregiona is a federation consisting of five states which, despite the name of the country, are officially called parishes. The parishes enjoy significant control over their internal affairs, with the federal government primarily responsible for international relations and defense. The President of Mexregiona enjoys broad power in international affairs, is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, and has the authority to veto laws passed by the Federal Diet. According to a tradition in the country, as well as a clause of the Constitution since a 2004 amendment, the President must assume the name “Mister Leader” upon election to office. As such, Presidents are often referred to by number: Mister Leader I, Mister Leader II, and so on.
