Mexico

Mexico is a mentioned-only location.

Background
Businesses that operated in Mexico before the War included Petró-Chico and the publisher of a newspaper entitled El Periódico de las Aburridas. During the Great War, Mexico City was hit by nuclear weapons, turned into a radioactive crater, though to a lesser degree than Washington, D.C. and Bakersfield. The collapse of society resulted in total chaos, and Mexico City was quickly taken over by looters, who formed the beginning of the raider tribes. Radioactive waste released from Control Station Enclave drifted down the coast of California and Mexico, causing irreversible ecological damage.
