ATM, Mexico and Brazil would be happy to allow those in exile to transition over to our sunny shores...or illicit offshore bank accounts.

As for alliances, I'll side with nice people in the Americas, and whoever's gonna give the two princes their wives.

How would you like a partnership with the Legionaires? We can use your nation as a safe place for our illegally earned cash and store illegal goods. You'll get a cut of course.

Yep. And that means we, of course, have to find a way to up the anty for world war two.

Hence my proposal that the French go from Commie to Nazi for WW2 after being maybe-crushed in our WW1.

Hell no! The Indigenous Federation of Micronesia And Polynesia, or The Pacific Federation of Polynesia and Micronesia. Whichever you prefer.

Given as how the train they were on got stopped in Merced, yes.

You'd better hope your capital isn't Honolulu, cause I'm going after Hawaii.

Just your average day in Alternate History...

President Clemens will be good buddies with the Imperial Twin Princes (Agustin III and Salvador), as well as current President Porfirio Diaz, and his rivals, the Moderate Francisco "Pancho" Villa, and the more radical and likely to fall to the Marxist teachings, Emiliano Zapata.

The trio would be remembered in Mexican political history as the definition of the three political views (Rightist, Leftist, and Centrist)

AKA Pancho Villa? All the same.

I just figured it would be ironic/fitting that those on opposing sides of the Upteenth Mexican Revolution would be in Congress. Porfirio's Bismark, with authoritarian-leaning pragmatism and shrewdness, Villa's the moderate and open minded master of synergy and peacemaking, Zapata's the noisy and impressionable libertarian idealist.
