...And I mean that literally, as it came to me in a dream.

Basically, in said dream, the Empire of Greater Mexico had just won a stunning victory of the republics of Texas and Arizona, which it was in the process of invading. I was attending the victory celebrations at what I assume was a major government building, some sort of castle left over from the Spanish colonial era. Anyway, at that moment, the Commander of the Carribean fleet (apparently the Empire controlled most of the Caribbean basin) decided to launch a military coup, and brought a couple of battleships into the harbor of the capital city (where I was) and started bombarding the hell of out of it. To make matters worse, he then landed thousands of Afro-Caribbean soldiers in these awesome flowing orange and red uniforms. I'm guessing they were some sort of special unit, like the Askaris. Unfortunately, I woke up before I found out whether or not the coup was successful.

Anyway, I'm tempted to flesh out this scenario a bit, though I have no idea how. Any suggestions?
