[color="#2F4F4F"] Aztlan has launched an impressive array of combat operations against several trafficking encampments & stings that led in the deaths of several suspected high ranking cartel members. This aggressive move has come as a shock to the public as the Federal Government of the D.A.A. [Distrito Autónomo de Aztlán] has acted in direct contrast to their announcement hinting at a strong distaste to conflict. The strategy caught the public off guard but most importantly, it clearly was not expected by the drug traffickers who have been dealt a serious blow by the attacks.


Forward chains, distributed via "texting" & social networks threaten retaliation against the federal authorities & military officials by several Cartel heads. Though, many would assume the summit between the Presidente & his underworld guests might be called off, information has now been released detailing the summit to have been held just before & well into the time the operation commenced. Evidence of a conspiracy to smash the Cartels is strong, but there are few among the average citizenry who could complain with this [i]"heroic show of justice"[/i] as stated by a cabinet official who was apparently unaware of the operation's planning.

The show of might was a display to the world, the drug lords, as well as the Mexican public who have been inspired by the demonstration of military unity & strength- a daring first move to empower faith in the new government has succeeded.[/color]

A mass campaign has been launched by the federal government of the D.A.A. to reignite nationalist pride & stressing ties between the ancient Aztec empire and the modern state of Aztlan. This campaign has developed into a mass movement to reaffirm the people's cultural roots & claim to restoration of former greatness. Rallies, parading, and large fiestas were organized & occurred often, now a part of the life of every citizen whom are now encouraged & legally permitted off work for participation in these state & privately sponsored events with pay. The Tamaulipas Rally, as it would come to be known, has been the largest & most spectacular event to blow away all doubt that the nation is here to stay. It was an elaborate ceremony with the Plaza of the nation's capitol, Ciudad Victoria, adorned with Mexican banners nearly everywhere, the city's bright colorful theme included elaborate Meso-American inspired murals depicting the glory of the Aztec Empire & its marvelous rebirth with the establishment of Aztlan.

As the nation speeds forward towards aspirations to assume its place as the “Latin” cultural center of the Americas, a boom in creativity, all forms of cultural art, & innovations based off of a common “Latino” heritage building upon age old traditions has made its onset into the autonomous district. Here and now more than ever before anywhere else, all aspects of the culture are embraced & are given appreciation- of the many accomplishments already created today, yet another has been added to the books, accepted as El Presidente put it,” Something birthed out of Mexican minds in an American fashion…too ignore it would be to leave a smudge on our rich culture.” And so was it that “lowriding” was made legal & embraced as an important Mexican sub-culture created on the streets just north of Mexico itself. Car hopping as well as hydraulics where also made legal at no higher a speed than 5mph. The law has since invited flocks of veteran & recreational lowriders who have established events & associations as yet another strong limb to the massive cultural body.

While the law may seem largely insignificant, it is an important aspect of contribution as the nation is in the midst of a cultural explosion that is gradually leading the people into a modern day Aztec nation. This is the greatest device to igniting intense nationalism needed for overwhelming unity that is sought as detailed by the Constitution of Aztlan.

Martial Law is officially recognized today, though has been effective unofficially since the reunification of the national military. It is a modified decree that preserves civil rights & freedoms & is rather open in that national & local events are allowed to continue on usually without any disruption while the State wages a promising & small scale drug war.[/color]
