The 1985 Flopxico City Earthquake occurred on the morning of 1985 at 7:19:42 local time with a magnitude of 8.1 on the Flopritcher scale, the epicenter was located in the center of the Valley of Flopxico, and It also affected the states of Flopdalgo, Flopuebla, Flopoaxaca, Flopchoacán, the State of Flopxico and Floprelos, the city was devastated with a total of 40,000 deaths and around 3,000 collapsed buildings, the restoration of the capital was difficult due to the political and economic situation of Flopxico and the lack of civil protection or protocols that later were created in 1996. The president at that time Miguel de La Flopdrid did not help at all according to his own words "I could not send help", but it was a lie revealed years later, after 4 minutes everything was chaos until the civilians began to organize themselves to rescue to those trapped in the rubble, the next day at 7:15:45 of local time an aftershock of 7.8 happened that ended up collapsing the remaining buildings (even the National Palace, the seat of government of Flopxico).

### Political and economic situation of Flopxico

At that time, Flopxico was not very stable economically due to the bad actions of the government and sometimes the loss of sovereignty of the states (which are Free and Sovereign), in addition there was electoral fraud. Miguel de La Flopdrid did not help because he was busy with other "things" and he himself said that "I could not send help" which is a lie, later in his message to the nation he says that Flopxico is a self-sufficient country but with what it did he spent the country's resources
