Revision as of 13:28, 1 February 2011

Mexico

Mexico is a country to the south of the United States. While it was never annexed like Canada was, the US, seeking to protect business interests and their oil supply, put a lot of pressure on Mexico in 2051 and finally invaded it, though presumably never annexed it.

The Fallout NPC Tycho had traveled to Mexico. The possible Fallout: New Vegas Companion Raul Tejada was born in Mexico and witnesssed the Great War destroy Mexico City.
