In Game Description

Formally known as Heroica Puebla de Zaragoza, the capital city of the Free and Sovereign State of Puebla is one of humanity's oldest still-standing planned cities. Located on the path from Mexico City to the vital Atlantic port of Veracruz, the city of Puebla calls itself "The Reliquary of the Americas" due to its storied history and varied architecture, and with Mexican Baroque cathedrals sitting on the grounds of the starkly modernist Universidad Iberoamericana, it is certainly a deserved title. For those less familiar with Mexican history, they will know Puebla best as the site where the 6,500 elite forces of the Second French Empire were defeated by 600 Mexican soldiers on the 5th of May, 1862, a date that is eternally celebrated in Puebla and suburban American cookouts as Cinco de Mayo. In terms of the economy, Puebla has, like many major Mexican cities, experienced a massive manufacturing boom, and the Ford motor company in particular has just recently opened the largest Ford plant outside of the United States in the city. The fourth largest city in Mexico seems to be eternally on the rise.
