A Wikipedia entry on the Florentine Codex: "one of the most remarkable accounts of a non-Western culture ever composed."

Call me geographically challenged, but I must say that from the perspective of an Iberian, Mexico must be about as Western as it gets.

I suspect that in this case "western" means European, in the same way  as English means British. 

And war is peace, freedom is slavery....

But not if you consider it the Indies. - Pesky spherical geometry!!

Whichever way it goes, a few action shots from down Mexico way (or is it up Mexico way now?) today. I was the Aztecs, and Lee commanding the Spaniards, with whom she clobbered me for the third time running. I've created a monster, gentlemen!

Almost every melee worked out the same; bong, bong, clunk, as macanas bounced off morions....

Even those matchlocks, taken in flank and facing the Cuachicqueh, lost only one element.

One clear thing; to regain my authority in this household, I'll have to take Poles against Muscovites next time.

South of the border!

Eek

Where is Mexico?

To quote Porfirio Díaz "Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States!"

Go toward the setting sun until people start speaking Spanish, then turn left.

Won't they then be speaking Portuguese?

Relative to my location, the center of the universe

Depends where you start

In my case they'll be speaking Australian and then it will get very cold...
