Mexican Federal Republic
 * Liberal Coup d' etat: In early 1836 the conservative goverment lead by Anastasio Bustamante enacted a group of laws known as "Las Sietes Leyes", which, among other things, reduced the autonomy of the states and esentially turned the country into a centralist republic rather than a federation. These measures caused general discontent among the population living outside of Mexico City, and separatist movements started to rise. In order to avoid losing more territory because of centralists, the Liberal Party makes a coup d'etat against Anastasio Bustamante in March 21st, effectively removing him from the charge. Valentín Gómez Farías takes his place as president, and inmediately abolishes the Seven Laws and restores the Federation. Although some Conservative leftovers tried to take back the power, they were defeated by the Liberals due to them having practically no popular support.
 * Goverment: After reverting the actions of Bustamante and the centralists, Gómez Farías deicdes to focus on stabilizing the country, and some laws are changed.
 * State Rights: Autonomy is granted to all states once again, for the sake of preventing separatism caused by the Centralist system of the conservatives.
 * Colonization: After federalists had succesfully dealt with conservatives most of the army was send to the north in order to protect mexican settlers from Apache and Comanche raids. New policies regarding colonization are also done, Mexico stops encouraging Americans from populating the north (but the ones who were already in there were allowed to stay) and mexican settlers are sent instead.
 * Military: As stated above most of the military is sent north after containing consevative insurrections in the capital. Some 5,000 troops are recruited and the total number of troops is around 50,000. Foritifications are built all over north Mexico, especially in the states of California and Nuevo México.
 * The Indian Wars: The troops sent to Texas and New Mexico start fighting against the Comanche indians without much succes, although they do manage to stop their advance into mexican territory temporarly. Because these wars will most likely go on for many decades, the goverment of Gomez Farías starts analyzing thr possibility of ceding some territory to thr indians in a state like Chihuahua.
 * Economy: Still unstable because of the political turmoil, but expected to stabilize after Gomez Farías manages to stay in power for longer.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Brazil: Even though Brazil is ruled by Conservatives, ironically the Liberal goverment agrees with them on some issues such as federalism, because of this an alliance is signed (and also because Brazil and Mexico are the strongest latin american countries).
 * Prussia: Alliance is signed for no particular reason and Mexico asks for modern military equipment and that Prussian officers train Mexican soldiers in order to improve their capacities in battle.
 * Central America: Mexico proposes a free trade agreement
