[quote=@Space Communist] Speaking of which, how are things looking for Mexico? Anything important I should know about? Has anyone taken it up in my absence? If not, I might just like to pick it back up.... [/quote] I probably could have used you earlier, but I guess you will have to fill in later. But of recent events: The Third International's central Politburo elected that yes, there's grounds to go to war with Spain. This comes with agreement from most of the member nation's fifty-person delegations. I want to go over the exact terms later, but to keep certain areas in synch with activities abroad I'm holding off until [@Vilageidiotx] and I do something with Azima and Hou. But the general premise is that the International has declared a state of war between it and Spain to drive the Spanish out of Africa and broadly "reconstruct the African regime". It'll probably take a while for further nations like Mexico to catch wind, so don't worry about it just yet. And though it's not a formal declaration of war on behalf of all the nations involved it does establish certain minimum obligations to contributing to the military state of the war. So Mexico will be expected in time to deploy at least some troops to Africa to back-up the Ethiopians. On an informal basis this may be a move some individuals might use to drum up full war support depending on what's going on at home. This will come into play later in Asia.
