The United Mexican States is a country located in the southern part of North America. It borders the United States in the north; and Belize and Guatemala to the south-east. Its capital and largest city is Mexico City. Mexico trades with the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, which includes the Empire of Japan.
Mexico's official name would imply it's a democracy, but it's truthfully a one-party state dominated by the PRI. Any other legal candidate running in an election is a dummy set up by the PRI to keep up the illusion of being democratic. While the PRI is the dominant party in Mexico, they are having problems maintaining a consensus concerning certain issues, such as foreign policy, ever since new factions started appearing. This has made the government slower and more ineffective. One of the biggest problems facing Mexico is corruption, as federal land lords often abuse the ejido system of collective agriculture and sacrifice the bureacracy's efficiency in favor of earning promotions for themselves. For their part, the citizens are growing tired of this corruption and calls for reform have been rising.
From an technical standpoint, Mexico is a flourishing country that has enjoyed an unparalleled economic growth from its population boom, increasing middle class, and improvements in quality of life. Despite its prosperity, Mexico is not the democratic country that it claims to be, as the Partido Revolucionario Institucional effectively runs it like a corrupt one-party state and must keep the illusion of freedom to stay in power. However, cracks in the image begin to reveal themselves after the Yasuda Crisis in Japan fires and incites minor economic and political upheaval in Mexico by forcing layoffs and bankruptcies, which is nicknamed the Kabuki Effect. Upon this, the citizens finally rise up in protest and each potential successor for the PRI have to manage a balancing act of appeasing the workers, peasantry, Federal Security Directorate, intelligentsia, industrialists, and party officials to win the presidency.
