Mexican Empire

El Imperio Mexicano

The Mexican Empire, formerly the Mayan Empire, has been a growing power within the Mexican region.

### Rebirth of the Mayan Culture

The Mayan culture has been buried and trampled on for centuries, by the Spanish and their Mexican descendants. Their influence has greatly changed the once Mayan people to what they are now, but even with these foreign influences, the Mayan people could bring back the ancient culture. The problem was the old Mayan traditions. Its been centuries since the Spanish conquest of Maya.

#### Calendar

The calendar wouldn't be "amended" by switching to the ancient Mayan calendar, instead it would've stay as it is now.

#### Religion

The First change was religion. Most of the people in the Mayan Empire were Catholics, meaning most won't just go back to some ancient religion that didn't even make sense. Thus, the Catholicism was altered to fit with the reformed culture. Mainly creation of new stories of a Mayan prophet who spread the word of god to the Mayans. The Mayans, of the time, didn't like his "nonsense" so they tried to kill him, but god's divine light protected him.

#### Fashion & Art

The Second change was fashion and art.

Though the old art and artifacts were guarded and protected, however the Mayan State couldn't ignore the fact that the State didn't have sense of fashion or art style as the Ancient Mayans.

#### Gender Identity & Roles

The Third change was gender roles.

Women and men had the opportunity to work in any field they wanted as long as they were capable. Men weren't taught how to hunt from a young age. Women wouldn't be forced to stay in the house.

### **Inner-Politics**

#### Wildlife Preservation Act

The Dark-Epoch caused many problems for not only Humans but also for animals.

The remaining animals must be safe guarded so the Mayan Government could restore its ecosystem within its lands. The first step to this restoration was the *Wildlife preservation act*. This act would have all endanger animals under the protection of the government. Although police can't look after every animal, so another Agency will.

##### ***WPA***

The WPA (Wildlife Protection Agency) would be set up for national parks and safe zones for animals. The WPA had a small unit of armed guards. These guards were protecting the parks and safe zones. Police as well protected the animals outside of the parks and safe zones. Killing an endangered animal would've resulted in a 4 year imprisonment or possibly capital punishment.

#### Monument Protection Act

There were many monuments displaying what the Mayan cities once looked like. Due to the high rate of vandalism, the Mayan Government implemented the *Monument Protection Act*. The *MPA* had all monuments under government control and protection. If any monument would be vandalized or destroyed, the offender will be put to capital punishment or sentenced 5-20 years in prison, including a large fine.

### **Military**

#### **Royal Army**

Mayan being on its own, needed an army to protect itself.

The army was small due to the weak Mayan industry. The army had around 600-1000 of Manpower. The Royal Army uniforms are based off of old Mexican Uniforms.

### **The First Chac Expedition**

The first attempt was to reach the outside world. Four groups of explorers were sent out to explore the surrounding area. Most of their vessels were either rebuilt ships or wooden boats.

### **The Kukulcán Plan**

The Mayan economy was weak, considering the country was only made recently, the Emperor has decided to enact an economic plan that will fundamentally fix the economy.

The plan is known as **The Kukulcán Plan**, named after one of the Mayan gods. This plan focused mainly on developing holdings, improving the agriculture, and starting an industry through. The plan was supposed be split into multiple steps which would suffuse throughout the days, weeks, months, and years. Once the plan would've been finished, a new one could be drafted.
