Mexicoball

Mexicoball is a countryball with identity conflicts: he lives in North America with USAball and Canadaball but he does not even share their language, he is son of Spainball like his cousins the other Latin Americanballs (with the exeption of Brazilball) but he rarely does business with them; he is too much latino to please his neighbors and "demasiado gringo" to please his distant relatives. Mexicoball is always trying to sneak into USAball's clay.

Mexicoball is renown for tacos, tequila (though he actually prefers mezcal), sombreros (NOT widely used nowadays), and unfortunately, for his infamous attempts to find a way over USAball's fence and get clay and money. He is hated by some USAballs of climbing over the fence illegally.

Mexicoball was into Emp ire twice: first for a short period of time just after his emancipation from Spainball and later when Franceball sought to stop USAball expansionism by supporting a puppet state with a Habsburg monarch, but Mexicoball republicans managed to defeat Franceball with help from USAball. Mexicoball has internal problems with his government, because his president is a pendejo and corrupt but yet it still wants presidents to magically solve all of its problems.

Mexicoball's favourite sport is cross country soccer.

Mexicoball is visited by many tourists, and is the 10th most visited countryball in the world. Popular places are Cancúnball, Puerto Vallartaball and Cabo San Lucasball because of their beaches, and large cities like Guadalajaraball, Monterreyball and Mexico Cityball.

History
In the 1500s, Mexico was born to Spainball and 7ball, and for the next 300 years, he remained under the custody of Spainball. But when his father was defeated by Franceball in Europe, he and his brothers sought to become independent, and fought their father, Spainball.

In 1821 Mexico became independent, and fought a short war with Franceball over a pastry restaurant, before having a son (Texasball) who was adopted by USAball in 1845. In 1846 Mexico tried to take back Texasball but USAball resisted, in 1848 USAball gained custody of Mexicoball's sons, Californiaball and New Mexicoball.

In 1863, Franceball tried to get control of Mexicoball, but failed miserably, and gave up in 1868 threatened by USAball just after winning over Confederateball. There was relative peace until 1910, when the Mexican Civil War caused 10 years of major fighting, and then he had some conflicts with USAball. As a result, Reichtangle invited him to declare war on USAball in World War I in return for his sons, Texasball and New Mexicoball. Mexicoball sensibly declined.

Mexicoball sided with and supported the Allies (though quite modestly) in World War II and even send some pilots to the Battle of Philippinesball. However it remained mostly neutral during the Cold War, while hosting the 8ball power Olympics in 1968. He is now known for being a 'taco illegal alien'.
