What happened to Nicaragua in the Cyberpunk universe (2020–2077)?

In Cyberpunk lore, Nicaragua (Nicaraguan Isthmian War Sector & Biotechnica CHOOH2 Concession) is aligned with Biotechnica, Militech & Petrochem. In 2020 (● CORPORATE AGRO-GARRISON, Sovereignty 8%): By 2020, Biotechnica’s CHOOH2 monopoly controls Nicaragua’s fertile volcanic lowlands, guarded by Lazarus Group and Militech contract solos. By 2077 (● BIOTECHNICA CHOOH2 PLANTATION STATE, Sovereignty 9%): In 2077, Nicaragua is locked under a joint Biotechnica and Militech corporate condominium exporting synthetic biofuel and engineered timber.
