Next month:

  • Texas -> Roof Tiles
  • El Paso -> The Pass
  • The Alamo -> The Poplar
  • Santa Fe -> Holy Faith
  • Nevada -> Snowed
  • Colorado -> Red
  • Palo Alto -> High Stick
  • Nogales -> Walnuts
  • Los Angeles -> The Angels

Paper companies would make a killing profit this period.

New Mexico? You mean "South America", right?

(Everything south of the Rio Grande is now "Mexico". Except for the ~~Panama~~ America canal.)
