Mexico

Mexico is a secondary location and country within The Suffering. The country had roughly 35% surviving The Plague, with 58% dying to the plague and 7% to other incidents. The nation has been described as being the worst hit after India.

Apocalypse
Unlike other North American nations, Mexico gained their first case of the Plague in June 2021 from a fleeing Texan man. Straight away, Mexico closed all their borders, airports and ports except for their border with Belize. It has been blamed that the reason of the high # of deaths is because of this reason.

In Late June 2021, Mexico City and Monterrey were both placed under lockdown after receiving more than 20 cases. This lockdown eventually turned into "martial law" as thousands of Mexicans protested against the government's strict laws on lockdown. In return, these protests saw a sharp increase of infection; from 51 to 3,000 in just 36 hours.

The lockdowns on Mexico City and Monterrey were later placed for the whole nation, whilst also increasing the amount of protesting and rebellion. As cases rose to 30,000 after one week, many Mexicans attempted to escape to Central America via the Belize border or escaped through ships. There were even reports of Mexicans breaking through the American border in early July. Eventually, due to the protests and martial law, the government collapsed and all lockdowns were lifted. This change in events was too soon for the Mexican public however, as the Outbreak of Oaxaca killed roughly 70% of its population.

Those fleeing toward the Belize border were the first to be killed by the rough outbreaks. Unluckily, the Outbreaks of Tijuana and Chihuahua also prevented any fleeing citizen to the north. Those who survived the outbreaks compared the situation as being "sandwiched". It is reported that over 1,500,000 Mexicans died due to boat failures and/or starvation whilst at sea and up to 50,000,000 died in June-August 2021 alone.

In 2024, Baja California was the first Mexican state to self-liberate. Eventually, with the help of the Americans; Baja California Sur, Sonora, Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Coahuila, Tamaulipas and Nuevo León were all liberated by May 2025. Only about 30,000,000 Mexicans have made it to Liberated Mexico, but there have been guesses as up to 15,220,000 still remain in the overrun areas of Mexico.
