Tlalocan is an despotic country in the Mexican region.

Historical background

Tlalocan's greatest "person" of interest is her namesake; a pre-war supercomputer named "Tlaloc" after the Aztec god of rain. Tlaloc’s primary motivation is the preservation of humanity, and the business interests it once represented; primarily those of the Petro Chico company. Though it has catered to these diligently for the last 200 years, Tlaloc is plagued with instability; having segmented himself into many alter egos based on notable Mexicans from the past. The repercussions of Tlaloc's Demise, and which of God's children will rise in his place remains to be seen.

Its miles of circuitry and constituent components are rotting, decaying as the years pass and revealing more of its guttural mechanical innards. Built by the brightest minds America had to offer, with technology none of them fully understood, the undisputed God of Mexico looms over all aspects of daily life like a spectre. It has killed by the thousands, and it will kill again. In its final days, it reflects on its “life” and accomplishments, on the “children” it will leave behind. Somewhere deep inside its central core, there is a sense of empathy, but it will die before it can ever comprehend what that means. Tlaloc knows exactly when it will die: and so it waits, and plots, and spends its final hours watching the clock with what could be considered “dread”. God from The Machine, Guardian of Mexico, 1000

National focus

Main article: Tlalocan National Focus Tree

The Tlalocan national focus tree can be divided into 7 branches:

Booting Up Branch

This branch allows Tlalocan to determine its history, from its birth to its current near-death state through resulting events, eventually unlocking the other branches of the nation.

• Wartime Emergency Branch

The war economy branch of Tlalocan, reliant on an outside nation declaring war on one of Tlalocan's protected nations.

• Sowing the Seed Branch

The Zapata infrastructure and resource branch. Shifts political popularity to Democracy.

• A Helping Hand Branch

The Maximilian population and technology branch. Shifts political popularity to Technocracy.

• Standing Guard Branch

The Moctezuma military branch. Shifts political popularity to Oligarchy.

• The Prodigal Son Branch

The Santa Anna branch. Involves Tlaloc teaching his son to become like him before passing on.

• The Final Quarter Branch

The branch resulting from whichever leader is decided to lead Tlalocan after Tlaloc's demise. With their new leader and path set, Tlalocan gifts all of his former protectorates and sons of Mexico with various boons, before finally passing away.

Behind the scenes

• Originally, Tlaloc was incapable of communicating with others on its own, as it was visualized as a massive system network to run the automated systems throughout Mexico, warranting the creation of its "sons" in order to communicate with humans, due to Tlaloc being an inhuman entity. However, due to the writing of Tlaloc's focus tree depicting Tlaloc as an individual "dying father" role, dissonance was created, due to the approaches in writing that the different developers writing the same nation had.
• Tlaloc had some of its lore worked on by Mechano.
• Shudderfly and Skip were responsible for Tlaloc.
• According to Zapdude, Tlalocan's Armageddon Station had less than 5% of its Pre-War stockpile remaining before it is blown up by Tlaloc following his death. Additionally, through the process of "napkin math", Zapdude determined that Tlaloc released approximately 243 megatons of nuclear energy through the detonations if all the warheads were to perfectly detonate.
