Mesoamerican Republic:
 * Goverment: Now that the Chiapas area has finally stabilized along with most of Guatemala, elections are held in the Mesoamerican Republic for the first time. No political parties were allowed to participate as they are seen as "corrupt" by the revolutionary leaders, because of this all the candidates ran as independents. Lucío Cabañas wins the election after recieving 43.27% of the popular president and he is sworn in as president during an small ceremony in Tuxtla Gutierrez on May 26th. Some of his first actions included equality of rights for all mesoamerican citizens and recognition of indigenous languages. Through most of the year Cabañas focuses on stabilizing the country and continuing the civil war in Guatemala.
 * Military: All the "guerrilleros" loyal to Mesoamerica are formally turned into regular soldiers with the creation of the Mesoamerican People's Army. The MPA consists of around 100,000 fighters, although not all of them have proper military training. Cabañas funds the military by buying modern weapons from the Soviet Union and giving them to the MPA.
 * Wars & Conflicts: 
 * Guatemalan Civil War: With most of Guatemala under Mesoamerican control, a final attack is launched on Guatemala City, troops arrive from both Petén and Chiapas, attacking the city from the west and the north and eventually surrounding it. The city is besieged for one month until the goverment finally surrenders to the Mesoamericans, causing Guatemala to capitulate. The remaining resistance forces in southeast Guatemala were destroyed by October and all of Guatemala is formally annexed (or merged with Chiapas) by the Mesoamerican Republic.
 * Belize War: In order to gain popularity among guatemalans, the Mesoamerican Republic declares war on Belize because it is "rightful guatemalan land". Since most of the military is focusing in taking Guatemala, only the southern part of Belize was occupied this year.
 * Economy: The president makes more farms and funds agriculture in general due to it being the main economical activity. Trade is also normalized as merchant ships depart our ports regularly, mostly to Cuba.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Warsaw Pact: We agree on joining the WP.
 * Cuba: We increase trade.
 * Mexico: For the sake of keeping goode relations with them we offer some land in Belize after the war is over (they don't have to join it but they can if they want to). Also we increase trade.
 * United States of America: We start trading, mostly with bananas.
