2015

2015 - Aztlan May 5: Francisco Pavón of the Azatlán party becomes first directly elected president of Mexico. Mexico becomes Aztlan, backed by ORO corporation (Aztechnology). Hong Kong breaks free from mainland China and proclaims independence. The British government uses its influence to protect Hong Kong, but is duped by mega-corporations and loses face over the incident. Schism splits the Irish Republican Army (IRA) into two factions: the Provisional IRA (led by Liam O'Connor, a "spike baby" elf) and the Official IRA. The Provisional IRA is incorporated into the state security apparatus, where it counters Protestant paramilitaries. It would grow into the core of the Tir Republican Corps (TRC).
