Mexico





Mexico was a country 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, put a lot of pressure on Mexico in 2051 and finally invaded it, though it is unknown whether total annexation had occurred.

The Fallout non-player character Tycho had traveled to Mexico. The Fallout: New Vegas companion Raul Tejada was born in Mexico and witnessed the Great War destroy Mexico City, and lived in a ranch in the state of Hidalgo. A small group of Mexicans also made their way into Zion Canyon in Utah, but were savagely murdered by the infected members of the Vault 22 expedition.

The country also had a major company named Petro-Chico, a petroleum corporation that was a subsidiary of Poseidon Energy, and had oil supplies all along the Rio Grande, and owned all of the oil flowing up to Las Vegas. Petro-Chico had adminstrative holdings in the states of Veracruz, Puebla, and Hidalgo.
