Slimlandia

English

Proper noun

Slimlandia

  1. (informal) Mexico, in which much of the economy and daily life is controlled by tycoon Carlos Slim Helú.
    • 2010 March 12, Tom Leonard, “Meet Carlos Slim, the richest man in the world”, in The Daily Telegraph:
      Through a sprawling empire of more than 200 companies – he has said he has "lost count" exactly how many – which encompass banking, retail, airlines, mining, printing, construction, restaurants and particularly telecoms, he has developed an economic stranglehold on his native country so vice-like that a new word – Slimlandia – had to be created to describe it.
