In a semi-hostile land grab, I think California stops at nothing to secure at least the western and northwestern parts of AZ to secure the Colorado River water. That would have to be strategic objective #1 by far and I would think the would throw everything they could toward their south/southeast, and ignore the the north. CA desperately needs that water and I can't imagine it would be all that important to the Texas metropole.
I don't understand the "Mexico gets involved scenario. Does this say they get OK and MO but not say TX, KS and AR? The Neutral Strip and the area around Joplin MO are huge chokepoints.
I think that user meant, it's not intuitive to most US citizens that other countries in general would have formidable armies. Considering that Texas might have 1/5th of the US military, and probably some strong arsenals close enough to the area, and how strong is Mexico's army? Would a military enforced reverse-lebensraum against Texas be viable in Mexican politics?
It's modeled solely on population, national guard (or I assume whole military for Mexico) size, and tax revenue, so it's going to give some funky borders where Mexico eats up whatever small states it can.
A couple other thoughts:

Huge amounts of territory were stolen from Mexico at gunpoint. Payback is a bitch.
I mean it's awesome, don't get me wrong. Just don't understand how it works.
