More odd turns of events. I decided to intervene in Panama, so as to take the future site of the canal. The result was a somewhat protracted war with Columbia, though I was never in a much trouble. Eventually, I managed to occupy every meaningful province, demanded three provinces on the isthmus, and turned Columbia into a satellite. I followed this with another war against two-province to the north(Costa Rica). I annexed them to give me a source of coffee, as well as to provide a nice buffer for Panama. I continued my march northward into Nicaragua, occupied them with little wasted effort, and turned them into a satellite. Satisfied, I returned my army onto its transports and withdrew back to the homeland.

This ratcheted my BadBoy score up to around 40. Great Britain, apparently not liking my imperialist goals, declared war to head off my fledling Texan Empire. However, they got more than they asked for. My allies, the USA and France, joined me in defense. I sent armies running through and overwhelming the small British garrisons in Belize, Jamaica, the Bahamas, and the Leeward islands. I even managed to sail an army to seize one of their isolated colonies in Africa. America, meanwhile, ran up the Canadian west coast, in addition to seizing Trinidad and Tobaggo, and Bermuda. France, meanwhile, absorbed a heavy, frontal assault in Normandy for over a year. In the end, the US would succeed where I could not- they negotiated a treaty in primacy of myself. I would receive Jamaica, the Bamamas, and Belize, which I was quite thrilled with. America got British Columbia, Trinidad, and Bermuda. France and Britain would achieve a separate peace over a year later.

Following my victory against the British, I finally was able to turn my attention inwards- Mexico had been reduced to two, isolated provinces. With their only ally being Guatemala, I declared war on the mexican government, annexing them with little effort. Following a mobilization, I went into a war of attrition with Guatemala- the harsh terrain took its toll on my forces, but in the end, the Guatamalans could simply couldn't match my forces. I took Flores, which completed my control over the Yucatan province, and turned Guatemala into a satellite as well.

To complete my control over the territories of Mexico, I traded two techs, the african colony I took from the british, and about 200k pounds to France in exchange for their three provinces in Mexico.

As for the CSA:

...

I'm not sure quite what happened. At some point between my conquest of Panama and the British war of agression, war must have broken out or something between the US and CSA. The US weren't strictly my allies(they guaranteed my independance, hence why they caim to my aid against the British), so I wouldn't have been asked to join the war. Regardless, the CSA totally folded, giving complete control of the south back to the US.
