You can still go for it. Your first post could be capturing it from the Communists (we don't have a particularly strong force there, should be easy enough).

[Iengal]

Yike it's slow.

[Iengal]

Not sure you would be getting much tourism Hast - since we are still technically in a civil war; and ya know... anarchy...

[Gerdon Laughis]

Name: Juan-Jose de Iturbide-Cortés
Appearance:
Birth Information: Toledo, Spain. September 26th, 1900 (Age 25)
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Spanish
Religion: Roman Catholic
Occupation: Partisan Leader
Bio: Juan-Jose de Iturbide-Cortés was born in Toledo, Spain to a family of some noble class in the Autumn of 1900. Growing up amongst Spanish royalists, he was exposed to semi-fascist ideals and monarchist views from his upbringing, that only intensified when he learned of his heritage. A descendant of not only the fabled Spanish Conquistador Hernán Cortés, but also the first Emperor of the Mexican Empire, Agustín de Iturbide I. As he grew up, he was incredibally dissapointed by the state of which Spain was in, and was ashamed by the shamble the military had become. As The Great War started, he wished for the Spanish to join the Central Powers to perhaps help Capitulate France and help reassert the Spanish as a World Power. However, this had not happened. And as he turned 18 at the end of the war, he left Spain for Mexico to aid in the battle against the United States, who had attacked as a result of intercepting the Zimmerman Telegram. For the few months in Mexico, he fought in the army as a foot soldier and was ultimately captured during a small skirmish in Baja California. When the War was over, he was transferred to a prison in Mexico City until the Treaty of Versailles had been drafted and adopted. Mexico was now split, and he had wound up a citizen of the South Mexican Republic. Living under Castanzo was not easy for any, but due to his Royal ties with the old Mexican Monarchy, some citizens saw comfort in his presence and eventually he formulated a plan. While seeking shelter on the Isle de Carmen, he lead a small band of rebels in overthrowing the small fort that controlled the island. With that under his control, he had the people form a small militia, and cut off all the bridges leading to the Mexican Mainland. With control of the Island, he formed Los Verdaderos Hijos, a faction bent on restoring Royal Rule, and reforming the Mexican Empire. He adopted the last name de Iturbide-Cortés in honor of his ancestors, and now is waiting to bring unity back to Mexico.

Current Location: Ciudad del Carmen, on the Isla de Carmen, LVH Occupied Zone

Group name: Los Verdaderos Hijos (The True Childeren)
What kind of organization are you?: Partisan

[Second Helghan Empire]

Name: Vincent Montoya
Appearance:Here around 6'
Age:28
Gender:male
Ethnicity: Hispanic-European-American
Religion: Catholic
Occupation: Former rebel now psuedo gang leader and club owner
Bio: Born to a mixed family with Vincent's parents moving to Veracruz from the United States before Vincent was born, the young man grew up throughout some of the most violent times in the region's history. His father was killed shortly after Castanzo became president by an oppenent in Veracruz wtih closer connections to the new president. In the years during the tyrannical reign of General Castanzo Vincent began to grow ever more upset with the nation's situation. While his family was slowly eroded in number, his mother fell ill and died. His two eldest brothers were killed for speaking against Castanzo and his elder sister was taken by corrupt officials and eventually found dead.

The death of his elder sister led to Vincent and his remaining two brothers joining others in rising up against the government. His friends and those with close ties to his family joined them and the rest of the country in revolution.

Vincent's brothers were killed in the fighting, and many of his friends lost their lives. However others filled their ranks as Vincent began to take on he role of a leader. By the end of the revolution Vincent's group of partisans numbered around three hundred. A massive swathe of the city of Veracruz was under his group's control with businesses and homes being rebuilt by the group earning the support of the residents there. While reconstruction has a long ways to go, the simple fact that Vincent and his men are working o help the people around them has created a communal atmosphere.

Current location: Veracruz, Southern and Eastern portions of the city are largely under his group's control where they act as the only law.

Group name: Known largely as the Montoya Partisans, however no official name has been given.
What kind of organization are you? ( business, partisan... ):Partisan
Who is in charge?: Vincent Montoya
Participating membership ( be reasonable, subject to change pending OP ): ~300 men
Current situation: Centered around portions of Veracruz the group is largely introverted and focused on protecting their territory and people. They want to help stabilize South Mexico but will fight against anything they feel threatens their area.

Will have to say no.

We already have a conservative party and a fascist party. I know that this is technically a monarchist party, but it is so similar to the other two that it would be hard to distinguish it. I would prefer that you make him a member of one of the two aforementioned parties.

On a side note, whats everyone thinking in regards to this transitional council, are we shooting for a full unity government with elections or more of a large group or rebels under one name?

[Ibendalia]

Name: Lieutenant José Abellán
Appearance:

Lieutenant Abellán in his uniform; somewhere in the Yucatan Peninsula, 1918

Age: 35 years old.
Gender: Hombre.
Ethnicity: Latino.
Religion: Roman Catholic
Occupation: Partisan; Leader of the Liberal movement
Bio: José Abellán was born on 1891, at Ciudad del México, son of Cpt. Adriano Abellán with his wife, Gloria Abellán (neé Cazzala). His childhood was a comfortable one, with his family being a part of the upper class. At 1909, to prevent him from joining the army, his mother shipped him off to Coimbra, and there he studied law. In those years, he adopted a liberal point of view. When the hostilities between Mexico and U.S began, he ran away to join the army. He quickly rose to the rank of lieutenant. When Ciudad del México fell and the government capitulated, he joined the resistance against the Americans, led by general Valentín Aguayo. At the disastrous battle of Veracruz, in which general Aguayo was killed, Lieutenant Abellán was captured by the americans. He was released when the war ended, at 1918. After that, he moved to Villahermosa, and helped the creation of the PLMS (Partido liberal México Sur), along with sgt. Abraham Pareja, Julian Hurtado, cpt. Serafín Covarrubias, Manuel Dávalos and cpl. Jacobo Morillo. Quickly, the PLMS began to antagonize gen. Maximiliano Castanzo, and the party was dissolved by Castanzo. Secretly, however, the party still met, and conspired against the government, waiting for their oppurtunity to strike... which came when Castanzo was killed. Liberal forces under Abellán quickly seized the Tabasco state, along with parts of Chiapas and Campeche.
Current location: Villahermosa, Tabasco
