You can also take a set and its complement from a smaller universe; these would also be mutually exclusive. For example:

rational numbers and irrational numbers
Integers, Rational numbers, Real numbers and Complex numbers.
Real numbers; rational numbers; integers; and of course you can make up lots of other sets to which it belongs.
To any set that contains it! It belongs to {-22}, or {-22, sqrt(2), pi, -3/7}, or all whole numbers between -43 and 53, or multiples of 11, or composite numbers, or integers, or rational numbers, or real numbers, etc.
The one thing they have in common is that they are both so-called "real numbers". You can think of them as points on the "real number line".Both are infinitely dense, in the sense that between any two rational numbers, you can find another rational number. The same applies to the irrational numbers. Thus, there are infinitely many of each. However, the infinity of irrational numbers is a larger infinity than that of the rational numbers.
