Vincente Lombardo Toledano (Socialist People's) 1935-1945 [1]
Arnoldo Martínez Verdugo (Socialist People's/Communist) 1945-1959 [2]
Valentín Campa (Communist) 1959-1986 [3]
Demetrio Vallejo (Communist) 1986-1987 [4]
Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas (Communist) 1987-1990 [5]
Porfirio A. Muñoz (Communist) 1990-1990 [6]
Diego Fernández de Cevallos (Democratic) 1990-1991 [7]
Huitzilin (Aztec People's Liberation Front) 1991-2001 [8]
Acolmixtli (Aztec People's Liberation Front) 2001-200? [9]

[1] The radical socialist who proved far too liberal for the CPAU's tastes.
[2] Ended internal democracy and established a rigid dictatorship that had a blind adherence to Martinez's version of Communism. Died of a heart attack.
[3] Campa's dictatorship, inherited after a purge of opponents, was secretive, totalitarian, social conservative, and violated human rights. Fell thanks to Reagan.
[4] Vallejo inherited the Premiership. At an very old age, the stress of leadership was too much and he died barely a year in office.
[5] The liberal "Democratic Current" of the PCM finally won the leadership as Cardenas became President. In 1990, the hardliners assassinated him.
[6] Munoz was the last PCM President, as the regime collapsed overnight.
[7] Fernandez de Cevallos took power as the democratic forces occupied Mexico City. However, a year later, after struggling with the fundamentalists, he was defeated.
[8] Leader after successfully defeating the democrats, he established a new republic based on Aztec values. Names were replaced by Aztec ones, traditional stone temples were built (by using modern construction technology) and the tradition of sacrifice to the Gods were returned with the sacrifice of Fernandez de Cevallos.
[9] After Huitzilin's tragic death by cancer, Acolmixtli took over, and continued the Aztec dictatorship. He emphasized the role of women in society as important, and it is thought that he were influenced by his "wife", the priestess Manauia. Acolmixtli was strict everywhere else, and somewhat more traditional than Huitzilin.

What do you think?

The Death of Jean-Claude Geymere (revised)

450x299_q75.jpg

Brazilian authorities investigate Geymere's car after the fatal accident that killed the famed Dictator.

When the American Red Army marched into the French capital of Paris, they surrounded the Citoyen-blockhaus, the Citizen's Bunker, where Jean-Claude Geymere and his general staff had fled too in the early days of February, when the Americans captured the Bunker, they found two charred bodies, male and female, that matched the description of Jean-Claude Geymere and his Personal Secretary (and lover, later Wife), Adele Benoit, cause of death showed Benoit and Geymere both died of a gunshot wound to the head, both the famed Dictator and his wife were declared dead by the Red Army, who took the remains back to Washington after the capture of Paris.

However Unbeknowest to them, Jean-Claude Geymere and Adele Benoit were not actually dead, Geymere, having given up on the war, and resigning himself to the fact that the Americans were coming, had managed to set up a plan, allowing the two escape France before Paris was overrun, with the help of several high rankings members of the Party, and contacts in South America, Geymere set up the ruse, using body doubles to make it appear as they had died, fleeing Paris in early April, effectively giving up his leadership of France, which was confirmed de jure by the remnants of the government still in the Bunker in Paris on April 30th, Geymere and Benoit, after changing their appearances, fled North to Le Havre, the last port under French control, and used a unmarked freighter to flee to Great Britain, before escaping on a freighter bound for Rio de Janeiro, with new identities and new looks, Geymere and Benoit made home in the small town of Florianópolis, Brazil, Geymere himself stayed out of local Nasi sympathetic groups and from Nasi exiles, fearing it would make it easier for the Germans, Russians or Americans to find and catch him.

On the morning of August 17th, 1947, Geymere and Benoit (who had lived in Brazil for the past two years under the names Pierre and Juliette Laval) left their small cottage just outside of Florianopolis to pick up some supplies from the town, on their way to the store, a Speeding Car came around the corner at the same time that Geymere's car was heading down the road, and the Car rammed into the back end of Geymere's car, sending it spinning straight into a wall, inflicting fatal injuries to Jean-Claude Geymere, Adele Benoit had survived the crash with only minor bruises, and when Police and Paramedics arrived, she, in a confused frenzy accidently gave herself and her husband away, pleading the Paramedics to make sure her Husband Jean-Claude was okay, telling the Police that he was a powerful and well respected governmental leader and that he needed assistance, Police were stunned at the frenzied women's admittal, and unsure what to make of it, arrested Benoit for detainment until they could figure out whether the victim was indeed the infamous Jean-Claude Geymere, Brazilian authorities identified the man as Geymere shortly after the accident, and arrested Benoit for helping Geymere escape war crimes charges for his role as the Mastermind and Architect of the Holocaust.

Leaders of the world were shocked at the revelation that Jean-Claude Geymere had escaped and remained at large for two years, and sorrow in the fact that he died such a simple death and was never brought to justice for his Crimes, however most moved past it soon enough, the successful escape and untimely and anti-climatic end of the Infamous Dictator and Mastermind of the Second World War soon became apart of the anals of history.

 
I'm reminded of the book The Berkut. Only in that Hitler didn't escape in the end. Regardless, an interesting, and strange revision.
 
Intresting. Reminds me of a short start I might do sometime about Hitler escaping and the subsequent manhunt for him.

Could be interesting, I'd read it, in this scenario however, no one knew Geymere was alive and had escaped however (except possibly the UASR)

Yeah, a little inspiration came from that, but yeah, thanks, strange yes, but I realized that copying OTL in the death part was boring, and that Geymere wasn't really the type to commit Suicide.
 
here's Geymere's updated infobox, the end dates for the political posts coincide with the date Geymere had supposedly committed suicide, because that is the date Geymere told everyone else in the remnant Nasi government he would in the de jure sense give up his political posts in order to coincide with releasing the body doubles, through he gave them up de facto when he fled.

I would, just for the lulz and the criticism that the IOC would get for that decision (and with the IOC able to argue that Mexico is up and coming or something), say that the 2020 games should be scheduled for Tenochtitlán, Mexico. Good idea?

Not impossible, maybe in 2024, through Havana works for 2020 because of the Japan = Cuba thing.
 
No... It was more that last part. That "Cuba = Japan".

Cuba doesn't equal Japan, but Japan equals Cuba, so with the whole reversal thing, Havana makes sense as a site for the Olympics, through it's just a idea really, I'm unsure about 2020, through I honestly could go with pretty much any city. (especially as their really isn't a direct Japan analogue.)

So, how is Japan ITTL at this point then?
