Hontou ni?

I'm sorry, but I can't approve this, for a few reasons. The main one is detail. I can't see Vicente Fox making Mexico a dictatorship within two years, and you haven't given any reason for it. Bottom line, I need details of why/how Mexico became a dictatorship (and once again, I seriously doubt Fox having anything to do with it, more like some other military leader).

The second one is population/military numbers. By 2025, Mexico is projected to have a population of 129,866,000. At the same time, though, half of your population can't be in your military. Your economy would drop dead. Its current size is 517,770, counting reserves and paramilitary. That's the whole military, not just the army, navy, of AF. Your military should be a slightly scaled-up version of this thing. 649,330 would be a good number, if you need one.

The third one is realism. Eliminating Mexico's drug problems in fourteen years? You can't honestly expect a major producer of marijuana and low-quality heroin, which is also the connector between Latinoamerica and the US, ergo, South American cartel action, to solve all of its drug problems in fourteen years. Reduced? Maybe, if corruption is seriously cracked down on and/or drug production and smuggling gets the same treatment. Eliminated? No. And it will take a lot of money.

Once this is fixed, I'll approve you.
