Mesoamerican News 1917

[Valles]

The Maori are pleased to recognize the new and more productive form of government selected by the Mesoamerican people, and welcome the chance to establish formal diplomatic relations.

late summer, 1918

As order continues to be restored in our Glorious Nation, the establishment of the Federal Police has been announced by our Esteemed Leader, who stated "I value the freedom of all men like any other, but a wise man once said that eternal vigiliance was the price of freedom. This man should have been a Mexican, for I take his words to heart! The federales will be that force of eternal vigiliance that will make sure no-one, least of all the Eye, takes away our hard-won freedom. Viva Mexico!"

The Federales will receive shiny badges...

About a month later

Construction has begun on reconstructing the battered fortifications of Tentochitlan. Nearly destroyed in the war, many of those charged with supporting the Eye during the Glorious Revolution have been offered the choice to assist in the construction of the new 'Fortress Mexico' in exchange for having their sentences commuted...

around the end of November

It was announced today that the city of Tentochitlan is no more. Instead, the capital of our Glorious Nation will henceforth be known as Mexico City, in a gesture of the new change, hope, and peace that has taken over our land, and in eradicating another reminder of the heinous presence of the Eye. Viva Villa! Viva Mexico!

some time in 1919

Reportedly experiments into bringing our glorious nation into the advanced world of aeronautics have run into difficulties, as the ACME Aviation Correcamino prototype aircraft has reportedly crashed on takeoff, the gasoline to fuel its engine exploding in a spectacular fireball. The pilot, one W. Chacal, appears to have been thrown clear of the crash however, and is said to be suffering only from a bad case of being covered in soot from the fire...

[Desertfox]

Nooooo!!!  You stole Willie! Noooo!!!  ;D

Shouldn't it read "While chasing a Correcamino type aircraft"?

[The Bushranger]

That, clearly, comes later, once the obsession has had time to develop. :D
