While Aztlan is anything but wealthy, it does have the most Modern Economy of all of the Mexican states. Aztlan is home to a very large manufacturing base for US automakers, and recently has begun increasing its ship building industry. Aztlan has also recently become the benefactor of the booming private space industry. Space Adventures is currently constructing a large spaceport just outside of Guadalajara for its dry climate, and Space X has a vested interest in the port's construction.
