Thank you, sir. It was a great read.

I don't remember much about the old way the Cartels were spread out in Mexico, but I do know the Arellano Felix Cartel(Tijuana) was VERY big. Im surprised to see how quickly it has evolved...

I couldn't help but notice the mention that violence would most likely decrease if the New Federation was formed (less cartels to shoot at each other I suppose), but how long would that last? Once their objective to subdue the Zetas was accomplished, wouldn't they eventually splinter up and start the free-for-all over again?
