Mexico has fallen into a state of total anarchy.

The President of Mexico mobilized the military and police to wage a war on crime, fulfilling his campaign promise to eradicate the cartels.

However, the cartels, armed with weapons rivaling those of a national military, defeated both the army and the police.

The executive, judicial, and legislative branches of the Mexican government have ceased to exist. In the resulting power vacuum, cartels have carved up the territory, and war breaks out daily as they fight for control.

The United States attempted to deploy troops to stabilize the situation, but American citizens protested the intervention, and the international community issued statements opposing the deployment, leaving the U.S. unable to act.

Meanwhile, the cartel wars escalate, and public safety has plummeted to rock bottom.

Mexico is becoming a country that no longer exists in any functional sense.

The cartels are now everything in Mexico.
