 * Aztlan: General Geronimo dies after falling from a flight of stairs on 14th January. His government soon collapses. Pro-Democracy elements in the capital seize control. The pro-Democracy people organize themselves as the Aztlan Revolutionary Party (PRA). The new government drafts the Treaty of Guadalajara to bring an end to the war. The Governors arrive in the capital and pledge allegiance to the new Republic. Quauhtli Correira is elected President till the first elections. Order returns to the nation. The Aztlan Constitutional Convention starts in May, presided over by Cuahillo Barbossa. The Convention ends in September and institutes the Aztlan Republic. The Republic will be a quasi-federal, pro-capitalist state with a presidential system of government, with a unicameral national legislature and elections held every five years. The nation is divided into four states, each having a unicameral state legislature. General Cuahillo Barbossa of the reorganized Aztlan Army assumes control of the Militia in California. The Californian Militia is reorganized as the Aztlan Guards Regiment with a commissioned strength of 15,000 men. The Novo Galizia Hussars regiment and the First Maiam Grenadiers regiment is raised with a commissioned strength of 6000 men each. The first elections are held in October between the PRA and independent candidates. The PRA wins an overwhelming majority of seats in the National Assembly (98 out of 132). The four state assemblies also receive a similar result. The PRA forms the new government and Quauhtli Correira continues as the President with Alexandre Acosta as the Vice President. The PRA seeks to take advantage of the situation in Europe and encourage immigration. Land clearance projects (funded by the government) begin to make way for ranches, plantations and cash crop farming (mainly cotton). The Treaty of Guadalajara is drafted to bring an end to the war. The Aztlan Republic declares war on the Salish State. A force of 20,000 troops (8000 1st Aztlan Guards, 6000 Novo Galizia Hussars and 6000 Maiam Grenadiers) invades the Salish. Another force of 3000 troops is raised and attached to the remaining Aztlan Guards and are constituted as the Second Aztlan Guards Regiment which is kept as reserves. The infrastructure buildup in the northern regions since the last Comanche raids in the 1790s help support the 30,000 troops in California. Manufactories start to churn out weapons and supplies.

 * Aztlan: With large immigrant waves arriving in Aztlan, the National Assembly sets up the Department of Immigration under the Ministry of External Affairs. The immigrants are provided with money and are offered free land. Groups are sent to Germany and Italy to encourage immigration. The immigrants move to work in the newly established ranches, cotton farms and plantations. Plantations mainly produce cocoa, rubber, coffee and bananas. New plantations are being established with the clearing of land. This frees up a lot of timber for the shipbuilding industry. The first factories open up using labor intensive methods, mainly for the production of arms and munitions due to the war. The forces advance into the Salish nation. The Second Aztlan Guards regiment hold the supply lines open.
