Ejército Mexicano
Ejército Mexicano is the reformation of the Army of Mexico.
Historical background
Driven by a desire to redeem himself for the shame of his "past actions", the mad AI strives to improve his conscript army and fill out its ranks with robots. Living conditions are poor, working conditions are poorer, and suffering is ignored. Everything is done in service to the reconquest of Mexico: if humans must suffer for that? So be it.

Ejército Mexicano, the Post-Great War reformation of the Mexican Army, is lead by one of Tlaloc's sons, Santa Anna, basing himself on the historical figure of the same name. Anna's belief is that the nation is the legitimate Mexican government, despite the only claimant being an insane AI personality.[1] However, Ejército Mexicano is largely made up of enslaved conscripts, obtained through Santa Anna's robot workers, and are forced to maintain production no matter what. In compensation, they are given ration tokens for their efforts. Despite the robot amount, most labor in Ejército Mexicano is performed by humans, and overseen by the robots, with humans forbidden from escaping, and those that attempt to being put to death by way of public execution. The reasoning for the depravity in human conditions is due to an error in Santa Anna's programming, visualizing human lives as a valuable resource, but still a resource to be fully utilized to ensure maximum potential. The ultimate conclusion to Ejército Mexicano by 2275 is to prepare for a potential war that may erupt following Tlaloc's death, but at the cost of supporting only an army, with little of a nation build around it.[2]

Starting Position
Ejército Mexicano starts on the east cost of Mexico, between The Pursuant, Petro-Chico, and Tlalocan.
They start with a production of 3 factories making Combat Robots and 3 factories making Support Robots.
Their division templates are:
- Militia Force (4 Militia battalions)
- Fuerza Milicia (4 Infantry battalions)
- Guardia (7 Infantry battalions with Anti-Tank and Recon support companies)
- Máquinas de Matara (3 Support Robot battalions and 3 Combat Robot battalions with an Anti-Tank support company)
- Robot Policiales (6 Support Robot battalions with an Anti-Tank support company)
Their order of battle spawns 16 land units and 1 naval fleet:
- 9 Máquinas de Matara, fully equipped
- 7 Máquinas de Matara, 80% equipped
- 1 fleet of 3 River Boats, 1 Destroyer, and 4 Heavy Ship.

- Obtained from Discord, 1/17/2019 - ↑ Pip-Boy Plus/Regions#Los Ejército Mexicano: "Occupying the northern portion of Mexico's east coast, the Ejército Mexicano lives up to its name. Comprised of unwilling conscripts enslaved by the robotic serfs of the army's leader, it strives for the reconquest of Texas. Every day, the "citizens" living under the Army's control work, willingly or not, in its factories and dockyards. Its robotic taskmasters leave no room for error, ensuring the entire working population is productive. Workers are rewarded with a paltry amount of ration tokens, the bare minimum for a wage. Construction, salvaging, resource extraction, and farming are roles staffed by humans and overseen by robots. Escape from this draconian society is nigh impossible due to the nature of its ruler. The watchful eye of the ever-present A.I. Santa Anna will mercilessly hunt down those who dare to go against its grand vision. Escapees are regularly dragged back to their housing blocks, or for repeat offenders, publicly executed.
These extreme methods are employed not to be cruel, but due to a fundamental error with the overlord itself. Human lives are considered a valuable resource by Santa Anna, but a resource nonetheless. Resources are collected to be spent after-all. No one citizen of working age should go unused either, for wasting resources is wasting time, and time is something Santa Anna doesn't have. Its central authority, Tlaloc, is rapidly dying. Refusing to accept the inevitable fate ahead of itself, the A.I. will continue to charge ahead into the future; preparing for a war that may never come. The Army of Mexico is an army with a nation, not the other way around." - ↑ army_of_mexico_nf.txt: "####################################
