The Mexican Empire was the name of Mexico on two non-consecutive occasions in the 19th century when it was ruled by an Emperor.
The Second Mexican Empire survived longer than the First Empire; however, it still only had one reigning emperor, Maximiliano de Habsburgo, who was installed by Napoleon III of France with the support of the Austrian and Spanish Crowns, in order to create a European-style monarchical system in Mexico.
There is a parallel claim, that by Matrilineal Descent the descendants of the naturalized Mexican Princely-Countess Anna-Victoria, the favorite niece of the Emperor and daughter of Archduke Louis of Austria, are the pretender line to the abolished throne.

As the vitriol spewed from Evil Empire, Rage Against the Machine's long-awaited follow up to their 1993 debut owes much to Chuck D.'s polemic fury and rapid-fire urgency--though as always the band rages without hip-hop machinery in favor of the heavy-duty power tools of rock.
All in all, "Evil Empire" is a great album, but I suggest checking out Rage's debut first, an album that is more focused lyrically and musically than any other album in Rage's catalog.
While yes Evil Empire is not the album the debut was it is still a first rate album, drawing more influences and meaning and feeling behind the music then before, which in some cases can be a very bad thing but here is nice and it works wonderfuly.
