The international community has called for calm following the accusations of an "unprovoked invasion" of a fledgling democratic nation by its neighbour, an aging superpower of the region which once held sway over some common territory.

The United States of America (located to the south of Canada) yesterday claimed that they had been the victims of a completely unprovoked invasion by its neighbour, Mexico. The United States, one of the world's newer democracies and best known as the setting for much of the movie Highlander, is already bitterly divided by an upcoming election and this may be militant oppertunism on the part of the invading Mexicans. Over the past years there have been some cross-boarder incidents, with low paid Mexican labourers operating being American lines and occasional defections by American criminals in Mexico, but in recent times the movement of Mexicans across the boarder seem to have greatly increased.

"It's an invasion, no doubt about it," said one American citizen in the small town of San Marcos, Texas, "they're taking over everywhere you look!" He also expressed extreme concern about Mexican control over vital supplies and infrastructure. "Pumping our gas, they're Mexicans, stocking our shelves in Walmart, they're Mexicans, serving us in Taco Bell, they're always God damned Mexicans!!"

Mexico, once a great power in the region with the Mexica people ruling over the Aztec Empire, has suffered a decline in the past 500 years and some commentators view this move as an attempt to regain lost glory.

The UN has strongly condemned the invasion, with Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon issuing a statement saying "The Mexicans should go back to where they damn well came from." While the United States is a NATO member, it is as of yet unclear if the Alliance will be taking any action against this resurgent Empire.
