Talk:1983: Doomsday/Former Proposals 10

Mexico
My expansion on the already canonized portions of the article on Mexico (aka United Mexican States). I want to keep what has been approved as canon; my proposals would expand on the history of the nation, as well as its culture, government, military, politics, and the influence of American refugees in the nation. --BrianD 18:31, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * You might want to talk to JorgeGG. He had some ideas regarding Mexico: User blog:JorgeGG/Mexico (Doomsday:1983) - Some ideas for refactoring. Mitro 23:52, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I'm still very skeptical about the whole governor-general thing. If Mexico wanted to create a counterbalance to the President, then I think they'd be much more likely to create a more powerful Vice-Presidency, or something like that. There's no precedent whatsoever for a G-G in Latin America. The term itself is odd, since it means "someone who represents the monarch." I understand canon and all that, but the Mexico page was written (just) before we began labeling things as Proposals, and I think that a lot of people who were active at the time didn't even read it. Someone tried to start a discussion about it, but by then Guinesscap was gone and could not respond. Benkarnell 15:45, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

In my opinion, most if not all the article needs revising: the quarantine zones, political parties the whole shebang. Ramdominsanity 20:27, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

It's slowly being revised now, Random - what are your thoughts and suggestions? BrianD 20:38, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

I have revised much of the history up through the 1990s. I will admit this is taking quite a while, but a) I don't have the time I'd like b) I prefer to take it slowly and add stuff as it comes to me, rather than rush through it and write a scenario that makes little sense c) I want to make sure the new rewrite works with West Texas, Cuba, East Carribbean and central American nations' histories. Thoughts?BrianD 22:41, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for the delayed reaction BrianD. My thoughts are thus: abolishment of the "Quarantine zones" by 1990, alllowing multiparty politics, trade with Central America, more closely allied with the CANZ due to large American refugee population and a very slow expansion north into the former arizonia and new mexico.

 * Thanks, Random. I've actually thought about other changes involving Mexico and Texas, and getting rid of the isolationism that I wrote up for West Texas. There could be tensions between the two regions in the '80s, but once things were settled with the American refugees, then both countries could become close allies by the mid-90s.Any early expansion into New Mexico needs to have Dinetah in mind, so Louisiannan would need to be consulted on that.BrianD 23:03, March 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think anyone is against what Brian is attempting to do for Mexico. Any objections to just graduating it even if its not finished? Mitro 18:10, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

 * What do you think the attitude of the different former Commonwealth nations will be? Victoria is still legally a monarchy and would probably welcome this revival. Fiji seems a likely member as well, and so does the East Caribbean Federation, composed entirely of former Commonwealth members except for the US Virgin Islands. But what about the major countries, Australia-New Zealand and Canada? Andrew is clearly the rightful King of all three nations under their pre-Doomsday constitutions; but will they be willing to join an organization headed by New Britain? It's got a history of belligerence (it still occupies the Xhosa state) and, unfair though it may be, I'll bet that the public in both Canada and ANZ believe that it is an "apartheid country". (I know that's not true, but it's a very realistic public perception, IMO.) But a much more serious consideration is that NB is openly and unapologetically Imperialist. Getting caught up in that sort of thing is exactly what they don't want at a time when both countries are trying to heal their relations with South America. Benkarnell 15:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Since this is just a proposed organization, are there any objections to graduation? Mitro 18:14, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Indiana
My proposal for what has happened in the state of Indiana since Doomsday. BrianD 00:07, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

 * I think this is safely within Zack's zone of control that we can graduate this. Any objections? Mitro 14:43, March 12, 2010 (UTC)
