Sorry Nicaragua, but I hear this stamp was pretty convincing.

The presence of active volcanoes near Lake Nicaragua was the reason why Panama was chosen for the canal instead. Can you imagine the major havoc that will ensure if one of those volcanoes erupts after the canal is built?

Besides, the Kansas City Southern railroad--which bought the TFM railroad in Mexico and turned it into the KCS de México subsidiary--has a more workable solution, namely using a port on Mexico's Pacific coast to transport international shipping containers through Mexico back into the USA with double-stack intermodal trains.
