In-Game Description

Courage, loyalty, and hospitality: these are the three core values of the city of Chihuahua, the capital of the state of the same name. Founded at the intersection of the rivers Chuviscar and Sacramento, Chihuahua is nothing more than an agricultural center; it's simply a trading post for cattle on their way to the Golden Arches of the United States. When visiting the dusty, neon-stained downtown, lined with nothing but 12-foot glowing signs advertising a fermented escape, it is impossible to conceptualize the both past and the future of this city. Chihuahua, behind its deceptive haze of lotus-eater-urban-ruralism, has been everything from the capital for Benito Juárez's government-in-exile to the headquarters of Pancho Villa's División del Norte. It has been the unwilling host to Miguel Hidalgo when he faced execution. It served as the de facto capital of Nueva Vizcaya, the first province of New Spain to be settled. Even the name "Chihuahua" is ancient, far older than the Spanish conquest; it comes from the Nahuatl language, and it fittingly means "between two waters." This moment in the city's history, the image of a desert Sodom meant only for the desperate and the foolish, this is only a momentary embarrassment. The historical city of bankers and businessmen from the era of Porfirio Díaz will return, and with increasing American business opportunities just north of the border (and a few manufacturing plants just south of it), it is sure to return faster than anyone expected.
