The Old Mexican States, the Central American States, and the Caribbean States collectively have more land and water mass under their control than any other part of the United States. They nearly doubled the population of America when they joined, and converted America to a solid Catholic majority, to the annoyance of many Protestants and Evangelicals. They also made Spanish the official Second Language of the United States of America, even if the various dialects are something no native of Spain would call Spanish. Most government business is conducted in Spanish, though some places like Belize continue to maintain American English as their primary language. The single most defining trait of the region that most northern Americans notice upon arrival is that they tend to be more laid back as a culture. Life is lived at a slower pace, and they are favored as a vacation destination. Disney World Mexico is the largest Earthbound amusement park for instance. Many Americans also retire to these States after building up a nice little fortune in the big cities, bringing in some much appreciated money to the regions.
