Nation Name: The Mexican Empire (Mexico)
National Symbols:
-Flag
-Coat of Arms
Capital City: Mexico City
Government Type: Enlightened Absolute Monarchy
Leader(s): Emperor Agustín I
Population, Nation:
-7,350,000 (Around)
Population, Empire: 7,655,000 (with Mainland)
-Jamaica: 305,000
Location: Egh the new map was gross, but you saw it.

Economy: The Mexican economy has suffered greatly from the revolutionary war and the Tejas war with Amerika. Due to the Tejas war, a struggling Mexico sold off the useless territories of California and Nuevo Mexico for the sum of {Insert large number} {Insert large currency} to Cascadia. With the northern territories gone, the new government hopes to use the money of the purchase to develop it's core land and pay off debts.

Infrastructure: Nothing special, only in the major cities. Roads in rural areas is literally flattered dirt/sand from horses and carts. Port cities exist, but the ones in the North are still recovering from war with the UPA. Major cities have cobbled stone roads.

Army:
-Imperial Army
--229,000 Men (Standing and Reserves)
--Low morale and shattered leadership
-- Poorly equipped since birth.
Navy:
-Imperial Navy
--The majority of it lies at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico or in the shipyards of the Amerikans.
--Very small, very inefficient, very obsolete.
--4 Frigates remain in Mexico's possession.

Goals:
--Restore Glory and Morale
--Rebuild Infrastructure and Economy
--Rebuild and Reform the Military
Imperial Ambitions:
Regain territories(Probs not gonna happen)
Invade Cuba(Probs not gonna happen either)
Spread further into Central America(Egh)
History:
In 1812 Mexico gained it's independence after an 11 year war(Jamaica was invaded due it being Spanish idk). Initially a republic, Mexico attempted to grow, encouraging immigration from states like Cascadia and Amerika to settle in the Northern territories which so far had been nothing but an anchor to Mexico. However eventually the UPA attempted to claim those lands as theirs, due to there being more Amerikans than Mexicans. A war was fought and it was lost by Mexico. Following the war, a trade disrupted Mexico had no choice but to sell California to the Cascadians, in order to pay debts and other stuff. Following the purchase, a major revolt against the republic led to it's downfall. Following two years of crisis, Agustin I rose to power as emperor.

Nobody knows "Tunnel of Love"? For shame.

The video is quite odd but I love the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrDK0UoAkfY

Those guitar solos near the end are just excellent.

The Chinese are industrializing mostly by themselves at this point, and are basically self-sufficient, and have their own internal issues. If Japan wants trade, Japan better initiate contact.

Because NS Logic.

The funny thing is this usually happens when Europeans are a threat, but the Anglo Dutch aren't pacific, Spain is at it's weakest, Cascadia is focusing on North America, Russia is probably going to focus on Europe, the Mughals have internal issues, and the French aren't expanding.

Actually, I feel pretty threatened by the Spanish Philippines alone, not to mention Cascadia's Siberian land.

Exactly. It's better to be Trade Partners then mortal enemies who raze each other's cities to the ground.

Thousands of years of animosity between China and Japan. The two were never friendly throughout history ever and were almost always trying to slaughter each other.

Japan should want Korea and Manchuria. There's no reason they should not be trying to expand into it.

China should want to establish dominance over Asia, and knocking out Japan is how to do so.

Yes, but they were Trade Partners at this time.They were suspicious, but they didn't fight. Yes, I do want Korea and Manchuria. But the Japanese leaders at this time were smart enough to realize that they wouldn't be able to beat China.

True. However I think that at the moment it'd be more beneficial for Japan to trade with them, learn from them etc.. So later they[Japan] can strike and take over Asia. However China is probably plotting something, so ya know, eventually a rivalry will take place.

Yeah. I'm still Takagawa Shogunate, who easily traded with China, and who was one of China's biggest Trading partners. When the Japanese Empire comes around on the trail of the Meiji Restoration, THEN a rivalry would take place.
