Mexico

Mexico was a country in North America before the Great War, located to the south of the United States. While it was never annexed as Canada was, the US, seeking to protect business interests and their oil supply, invaded the country in 2051.

The country was home to Petro-Chico, a subsidiary company of Poseidon Energy that specialized in oil refinement, controlling nearly all of the oil flowing up to Las Vegas. Petro-Chico had administrative holdings in the states of Veracruz, Puebla, and Hidalgo.

Timeline

 * 2042 - A major earthquake takes place in Mexico City. The Mister Handy general construction robot becomes the leader in sales in Mexico.
 * 2051 - Seeking to protect business interests and their oil supply, the United States began to exert increasing pressure on Mexico, citing the political instability and pollution stemming from Mexico as a threat to the United States. Various economic sanctions served to destabilize Mexico, and the United States military entered Mexico to keep the oil refineries running and ensure that oil and fuel continued to make their way north across the border (at Mexico's expense).


 * 2066 - Resource rioting occurs in Denver. Midwest USA and Mexico start having food shortages and can't supply Denver with the food it needs. Food riots occur, and the National Guard is called in.


 * October 23, 2077 - Mexico is nuked, along with most of the planet. Mexico City is hit and destroyed by nuclear weapons, the perpetrator unknown.
 * Some time after the war - New California Republic takes over Baja, although does not have enough control to annex it into the Republic.
 * 2281 - New California Republic sends Rangers to Baja, but eventually recalls them to the Mojave Wasteland.
