Please, someone feel free to explain how the United States of Central America managed to become a great power with more industry than Germany, a stronger military than Russia, and control over the Suez canal (they also have Panama, but that isn't crazy for a Central American power).
Maybe that's what happens when I play an Anarcho-Liberal US that's more interested in expanding it's influence in the Pacific and taking over the Caribbean and Canada instead of bullying Central America?
