Petro Chico

Descended from the workers, executives, and civilians who were on-site at the Petro-Chico Corporation's industrial facilities when the Great War began, the current inhabitants of Petro-Chico are a shadow of their ancestors. They squat in the ruins of pre-war refinieres
, leaving them to deteriorate, eking out a meager existence.
Although Tlaloc considers them company employees, the residents of Petro-Chico are isolationist to a fault, and have rejected every attempt the A.I. has ever made to improve the quality of their lives. They fester in their perishing facilities, ignorant of their true worth."

Before the Great War, the Poseidon Energy main facility at Veracruz was intended to serve as both a storage facility for the advanced technologies of Poseidon Energy,[1] but also serve as a fallback point for the American occupational forces, local American and Mexican Petro-Chico employees, and collaborators of the Mexican invasion to await further instructions after a nuclear conflict.[2] However, this did not come to pass.[3] After the Great War, the descendants of the Petro-Chico company,[4] responsible for the construction of what would eventually become Tlalocan,[5] were locked out of their equipment by Tlaloc itself, degenerating into tribes centered around the Pre-War departments of Poseidon Energy,[6] with the role their ancestors have dictating their tribal belonging.[7] The tribes themselves are the Board of Directors (management),[8] Offshore Shipping, R&D, and War.[9] The tribe live in the remnants of the company's largest refineries in Mexico,[10] emulating the Pre-War company through their corrupted interpretation of the company's imagery and phrases.[11] However, due to the centuries of decay and overgrowth, as well as the lack of knowledge, the refineries are in states of disrepair.[12]
Politics
National spirits
Petro Chico starts with two national spirits:
Protector's Guarantee
- Stability: +5.00%
- Conscription Laws Cost: +75%
Tlaloc's Guarantees only protect (a few) Mexican nations from outsiders, but they will not protect the cartels from other Mexican nations!
Gas Nation
- Energy Cell Gain per Energy: +200.00%
- Energy Cell Gain from Generators: +200.00%
- Energy Cell Capacity: +300.00%
Petro Chico is a nation built off fuel. We extract more and stockpile more, granting our fuel-using troops longevity in battle.
Gameplay
Military
Petro Chico starts with eight divisions, all being Guardia des Plantas.
Conscription Law
|
Countries under Tlaloc's protection have never faced a proper external threat, but with their stable economies can support large armies with no problems and with time their soldiers, while less numerous, will best those of the other major factions.

Behind the scenes
- Petro Chico was conceputalized by Indyclone77.[13]
- Petro Chico are based on the company of the same name mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas, who are a subsidiary of Poseidon Energy. However, Petro-Chico is described as being based in nations further south of Mexico, specifically the regions of Veracruz, Hidalgo and Puebla.[14]
- The nation, along with Guerreros de Honduras, were to be released with focus trees during the 2.0 update, but were cut from the original release,[15] However, Petro Chico's focus tree was cut in exchange for Costa Cafeinada being added to the game.[16] due to Indyclone77 having concerns of cancer affecting their health.[17] Although they are unable to complete the nation as they envisioned it, the unfinished Petro Chico focus tree is on the Old World Blues developer Discord for anyone who may wish to finish it.[18]

the remnants of Petro Chico are strewn across Mexico
From Tlaloc and Anna, to the Republic of the Rio Grande, to the tribesmen of Petro Chico's largest refineries"
- Obtained from Discord, 7/27/2019 - ↑ shoggi: "so, the nation of petro chico are basically tribals that have just adopted some of the phrasings and symbols of the old petro chico company
they have no actual clue what any of it means and not the faintest hint what a refinery even does"
- Obtained from Discord, 11/16/2020 - ↑ Moreso the connection of the oil pipelines (I assume) running from Mexico and New Vegas Post-War. Or rather the option as House or any leader of NV to reclaim and reconstruct said pipeline. I just realized I turned this into a suggestion. whoops.
Zapdude: "There's no reason to
They're most likely completely ruined by two hundred years of missing maintenance, let alone the nukes, potential earthquakes, human inhabitancy, etc
Even if you repaired the entire network from the refineries in Mexico to Vegas, you'd have to get the refineries running - might be easy for House, except they're also swamped by mutated jungle fauna, completely rusted, and barely held together at this point
The people living inside of them don't even know what they used to do, let alone how they functioned, or how to repair them: and as such they've fallen into disrepair
If you wanted to refine oil in Mexico, you'd need to build a new refinery
and why do any of that when you could just build a fission power plant instead?
you're Mr House
You build robots in your sleep: you can put your effort to better use than trying to use up the last fossil fuels in Mexico"

There's some Tlaloc ideas that might be put into that sub-update too."

- Obtained from Discord, 8/2/2019 - ↑ Indyclone77: "It's not in the mod as I had a bad cancer scare during Mexico development
Gums oozing blood etc
so I couldn't finish my work and Skip did Caffe instead"
