Greater Chihuahua (Baja Arizona)
 * Name Change: The name is changed to Greater Chihuahua since both the people and the goverment thought that the old name (imposed by the previous goverment in 2401) was "plain dumb" and that it didn't represent the nation at all.
 * Goverment: The goverment of Chihuahua is currently occupied by the Aridoamerican Regionalist Party (Formerly known as National Action Party or PAN), with Carmelo Vargas as president for the 2500-2506 period. Although Chihuahua is technically a democracy that allows multiple parties, the ARP has been in power since 2402 and has faced practically no opposition since 2450s. The only major opposition party is the Chihuahua's Revolutionary Party (formerly Institutional Revolutionary Party or PRI) but despite this they hold only 17 seats in the Chamber of Deputies against 483 of ARP and 1 seat in the Senate versus 59 of ARP. Because of this, Chihuahua is viewed as a one-party state by many analysts. However, despite what most people would think, Chihuahuan people are actually happy with the system, and they are the ones who made this system possible after all. As for the actions of ARP as ruling party, it has been focusing on funding the military and in promoting regionalism among north mexicans, approving concepts such as an united Aridoamerica (north Mexico and South USA) and increasing relations with "Baja Texas" and "Baja Sonora".
 * Military:
 * Land Forces: Chihuahua's land forces are fully automatical and human soldiers do not exist since 2460s since people thought that it was pointless to risk lives if machines are already able to do this function. The army consists of 90,000 CX-IV robot soldiers (most recent model of standard military robots, normally use assault weapons such as railguns), 25,000 QC-I soldiers (heavy robotic soldiers with great firepower and very resistant but also slow and expensive), 5,000 SX7 soldiers (basically assasin and stealth robots with mostly melee weapons) and ~15,000 additional soldiers that are either modified versions or older, malfunctioning robots that are still able to fight somehow. The total number of soldiers accounts for ~135,000. As for things like tanks, Chihuahua has up to 170 varied tanks with different dank weapons and thousands of modern armored vehicles.
 * Air Forces: The Air Forces are fully automated and mostly composed by drones. Numbers include 80,000 quad-copters (don't freak out, they are very small drones only equiped with a mini-gun/railgun/gauss cannon that can be destroyed easily, but they are dangerous in large groups), 121 bombers and around 700 medium and heavy drones (way stronger than quad-copters). Also there is a "mother ship" called Helipuerto Ignacio Zaragoza (basically a helicarrier) which can keep thousands of quad-copters on it to make a surprise attack.
 * Naval Forces: Out from the three military branches, the Naval is the weakest as not much focus was put on it in the past. Due to this the Navy is not fully automated and some old ships still need human pilots. The total number of military vessels is around 51 from which only 13 are considered "modern" (automated) since the rest are old ships. The only vessel worth mentioning is the Benito Juárez Aircraft Carrier which is one of the most formidable ships in the entire region, but despite this the Navy is still pretty weak if compared to countries like California or Florida. Chihuahua also has 11 submarines.
 * Wars & Conflicts: Unlike most nations, Chihuahua remains at peace this year and tries to have a diplomatical approach instead.
 * Analytics:
 * Economy: The economy is centered around industries and the main economical activity is trade, which has been important for Northern Mexico since 2000s. The GDP is around 293 billion INT (or 4.7 billion in Mappingball style/or 3.1 trillion in Perry style).
 * Population: The population according to the 2500 Census is exactly 8,152,345 (aka 8.1 million people) and the fertility rate is around 1.81. The population is low because of the global warming disasters, although it has been stable since Chihuahua (or "Baja Arizona") was established as an independent country.
 * Culture: The culture has not changed drastically from 2010s Chihuahua. The main language is Spanish with 99.99% of the population having it as mother language, followed by English which is spoken by 86% of the population as second language. The nation is practically homogenous ethnically speaking (mixed population aka european + indigenous) besides of inmigrants coming from the north. The biggest change is probably Religion since Catholicism has declined a lot since 2100s. 71% of the population is agnostic or atheist and 20% is catholic. The rest is mainly composed by the "Iglesia Transhumanista" which is a new religion created around 2300s, it's followers believe that machines are the next step of human evolution and that humans should embrace them by worshipping them and becoming cyborgs until essentially transforming into a robot completly (which is impossible as of now). They make up 8% of Chihuahua's religious beliefs. The remaining 1% includes minor religious such as the Lacertan Religion followed by Florida inmigrants.
 * Cities: Biggest cities include Juárez (the capital) with nearly 2 million people, the industrial city of Shiguagua with 900,000 and Delicias with 750,000.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Baja Sonora: The president Carmelo Vargas proposes an union with the brother nation of Baja Sonora. He highlights the cultural and historical ties between the two nations, and the fact that North Mexico should be united under one banner. He also says that making this union would protect the two nations from the imperialism of nations like California instead of becoming another Sonora. If accepted, the union would be called "Aridoamerican Confederacy".
 * Baja Texas: Relations are increased and an alliance is requested.
 * Seattle: Chihuahua requests an alliance and free trade agreement.
 * Lacertan Empire: Chihuahua requests an alliance and free trade agreement.
