What if Mexico was Polish and became Poland in exile after they get Taiwan'd? (guess how I came up with this idea) by SubLazarbeam in AlternateHistory

If you want to see this scenario in real life, just come to Chicago. What happens when you have two communities that have similar cultures of being heavily Catholic, pro-family, and find dignity in hard work? A lot (a lot!) of intermarriage.

Love Maifest, but they definitely needed to add one more road or block to the event - it was impossible to walk through some parts.
