&&BRIEF
"Mexico City has the largest population base, giving them an advantage in any election.  Each region has both resource surpluses and deficits making the economic situation similar although the Yucatan faces the greatest economic challenge."

&&NOTES
"The decision to divide Mexico was not a result of regional discord as it was in so many other cases.  Instead, this was the recommendation of a federal committee examining the impact of the recession on Mexico’s economy.  The report of the committee stated, ‘Dividing Mexico temporarily into more autonomous economic zones, and granting their regional governments more independence will allow our communities to recover more quickly from the economic crisis we face.’  ¶¶The report was actually correct, as the four separate regions attacked their individual problems with vigor and ended some of the long-standing issues plaguing the country.  The Yucatan Administrative Zone achieved the biggest success, as it successfully negotiated an end to the violence in the Chiapas region, and signed a formal peace treaty with the Zapatista National Liberation Army.  ¶¶As the date for the Re-Unification Vote draws closer though (to be held in just under a year and a half from now), the regions have begun questioning the wisdom of ending their independence.  The President of Sierra’s quote echoed on the evening news for almost two weeks; ‘Are we now to take what we have fixed and watch a foreign leader once again destroy it… or should we defend the right to our own destiny?’  The Zapatistas were particularly uneasy about the upcoming election, knowing that it could lead to their new treaty being unceremoniously revoked.  Instead of campaigning, they cleaned their weapons…"

"We are in a very good position for the re-unification vote.  Our larger population base should definitely give us the edge as long as we can maintain a reasonable Domestic Approval Rating.  However if the situation continues to deteriorate diplomatically, we could be faced with a war on three fronts so we must immediately reinforce our capital against that possibility.  We should also take steps to secure alliances wherever possible.  Those alliances can always be abandoned in the future if the situation warrants. ¶¶Economically we should increase our manufacturing facilities, specifically Industrial and Military Goods.  Our current surplus of Petroleum and Consumer Goods should support this economic growth."

&&EMAIL 02
"Mexico boasts a larger population base and that will give them an advantage heading into the Unification Vote.  However since they are faced with potential enemies on three fronts, they will be forced to invest more heavily in their military.  That could cost them popularity points at home and put us in a good position to gain support.  If conflict does occur we should try and stay out of it unless directly threatened. ¶¶From an economic standpoint we need to increase our manufacturing facilities, specifically Industrial and Military Goods if we are to support further economic growth and to be able to field a significant military if needed."

&&EMAIL 03
"We have several economic problems that must be addressed before we can begin to think about military action or election polls.  In addition to our reliance on imports of most resource commodities, we also need to increase all of our manufacturing facilities.  Even with our small manufacturing sector we are experiencing power shortages and that will worsen as we improve our capacities. ¶¶Mexico is in the best position heading into the election and until we get our economy in shape there is nothing that we can do about it.  The good news is that with all our problems, none of the other regions are likely to pay us much attention, so at least we should be left in peace while we improve.  And who know what opportunities might then arise…"

&&EMAIL 04
"Like Mexico, we have the disadvantage of having three borders to defend.  Fortunately both Yucatan and Sierra are not immediately threatening.  That leaves the Mexican region itself…  Obviously control of Mexico City is the ultimate prize and should give that leader a big advantage heading into the election.  The proximity of Mexico City to our border could facilitate a quick action on our part to capture the city and our analysts predict that if the city falls, the region will surrender. ¶¶If we were to take Mexico, that would also give us the petroleum resources our economy needs.  However it would still leave us short on Industrial and Military Goods production, so we should consider taking action early to correct that problem."
