Aztlan. The way they are spoken about in the shadows, you'd think there was a perpetual dark cloud and rain over the entire country, with demons and bats and spooky things around every corner.

Aztlan is a a nation of contrasts: staggering wealth and crushing poverty. sophisticated technology and rampant superstition, magic and mayhem.

Aztlan is a country covering all of Central America, between Rio Bravo and Nueces River and the Andes. Aztlan borders the Confederation of American States, the Pueblo Corporate Council, and the California Free State to the north. The border runs from just north of San Diego eastward, north of Tuscon and Odessa, and passes directly through to the city of Austin before looping southward. It passes 75 km east of San Antonio, TX, before striking the Gulf coast between Brownsville, CAS and Matamoros, Aztlan.

Aztlan also contains the Central American countries formerly known as Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Panama (with the exception of the Panama Canal Zone, which is owned by the Corporate Court). The border against the nation of Amazonia to the south sweeps down from the southern tip of Lake Maracaibo (once Venezuela), runs south of Bucaramanga (Colombia), and passes just north of Bogotá. At that point, the border moves west, passing 50 km south of Cali to strike the Pacific Coast on the Bahia Choco. The border is such that Aztlan occupies a small portion of Venezuela and about half of what used to be Colombia (including Cartagena, Medellin).

Both Austin and Bogotá are disputed territory, and are divided between Aztlan and the bordering nations.
