Well, I was looking at a map of the first Mexican empire, and was wondering how plausible Merida de Yucatan (modern day Tabasco, Yucatan, Quintana Roo and Campeche states) joining the UPCA is. Reading part of the Genocide article on Yucatan, I also came across this:

Wikipedia said:
Until the mid-20th century most of Yucatán's contact with the outside world was by sea; trade with the USA and Cuba, as well as Europe and other Caribbean islands, was more significant than that with the rest of Mexico.

I don't know too much about Mexican history, but I do know Yucatan was rather separatist (and was independent in the 1840s).

So, just how plausible is Yucatan being a member of the UPCA?
