## **History**

### **War of 1997**

The history of modern Mexico begins with the rise of neozapatist ideas in latin america, due to the succsesful campian of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation in Chiapas, 1994, taking over most of the state, and influecning others. The Zapatista revolt started the latin spring, a series of revolutions and protests between 1996-2001 in latin america.

The ideas of Neozapatismo, combined with the big economic depression of 1996, has led to the rise of three main parties in the elections of 1997: "The Neozapatisto party", supportive of libertarian socialism, "Liberty and tradition", supportive of The United states, and "Freedom for all", supportive of a banana republic style government. The elections ended up with the Neozapatisto party, led by Nombre al Azar, winning most of the seats in the congress and the presidental elections with Al Azar.

The United states and The Central American Federation, feared by the revolutionary spirit of the neozapatists, decleared war against Mexico, backing "Liberty and tradition" and "Freedom for all", respectavly. For the first months, the USA and the CAF had a couple sucsessful campians, and the USA making it to Durango. However, the growing civil war and the economic depression has led the USA to reteart, leaving FaT all alone. That was the turning point in the war.

Mexico managed to take most of it's lost territory in the north in 3 months, inclueding the weapon factories in Chihuahua, and stoping the fast Central American army. The civil war was finished in Febuary of 1998, with USA taking over Baja California, Mexico taking over Tucson, and CAF taking the 3 states over the Yucatán Peninsula.

In office, Al Azar changed the political system of Mexico itself, giving power to the towns and cities in the country, and making the membership in a trade union a must in every big company. He also nationalised the economy, which led into a big boost in the standards of living.

### **"Era of intervartions"**

"Era of intervartions" was the name given to the time between 1999 and 2006, when Mexico was involved in a number of wars, opperations, and revolutions. The day considered to be the first day of the era, was Novmber 2nd, 1999, when Mexico deacleared that they will send 10000 troops to help the Combined Municipalities of Abeajala in the 2nd American civil war.

## **Politics**

Mexico is a loose federation of over 10000 Municipalities and neighbourhoods, all collectivlly named "municipios" (townships). In order for a municipio to become independent, it must meet a few criteria:
1. It must have between 5000 and 10000 workers.
2. It must have a continuius territory.
3. It must have a clear comertial center.
4. It must get the signatures of at least 60% of the employees, declaring that they are willing to become their own municipio.
5. It must mention what institutes it will share with other municipios.

The Revolutionary Congress is the legislature of Mexico consisting of two chambers: the Senate of the People and the Chamber of Deputies. Its 595 members (200 senators and 395 deputies) meet in Mexico City. The Chamber of Deputies (Cámara de Diputados) has 395 members, each elected for a three-year term, all of whom are elected in single-seat constituencies by Instant-runoff voting. the constituencies' borders are being set by the municipios. Every constituency is made up of 20-30 municipios. The Senate of the People is elected by proportional representation and instant-runoff voting.

The president of Mexico is the head of state and head of government of Mexico.

The only legal party in Mexico is The Neozapatisto party, led today by Oscar Polla. However, there are a lot of factions. Here are some of the main ones:

### **Leftist factions**

#### **Libertarian socialists**

The faction currently in power. Led by Oscar Polla, they have 103 deputies and 45 senators. They were the main leftist branch since the rise of the party.

## **Culture**

Mexican culture reflects the complexity of the country's history through the blending of indigenous cultures, the zapatista revolution, and the culture of Spain, imparted during Spain's 300-year colonial rule of Mexico. Exogenous cultural elements have been incorporated into Mexican culture as time has passed.

The Porfirian era, in the last quarter of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century, was marked by economic progress and peace. After four decades of civil unrest and war, Mexico saw the development of philosophy and the arts, promoted by President Díaz himself. Another era of progress came after the war of 1997, within the painting, architecture, and film indastry, to command the victory of Mexico.

The modern mexican art style is called "Mátame Art", After Isla Mátame, the famous architect known for building the Government Square, A widespread area in which all of the federal government buildings are present. The Mátame school is "trying to marage the traditional Atzec and Mayan art with the socialist culture of other countries. For example, the congress looks like a small Pyramid of the Sun with modern materials, and if it was made with Lenin's Mausoleums above each floor.", acorrding to the words of Matame herself.

### **Neo-Aztecism**

Neoaztecism is a secret religion, almost cult-like, that wishes to revive the religious practices of the Aztecs. The movement started in 2000, with a man called Comedor de Mierda, who claimed that the neozapatistist were focusing to much on the socialist elements, and, according to him, "compleatly missing the point, and forgetting what the goal was in the first place: getting rid of the western culture.". The movement started growing rapidly after the fromer mayor of Mexico City, Riccardo laminar, supported this group.
