位於中美洲的聯邦共和國,歷經三百年西班牙殖民,是現今人口最多的西班牙語國家。人口大約有60%為印歐混血,30%是印地安人後裔。國內文化歷史遺產豐富,境內保有相當多馬雅遺跡。1994年加入北美自由貿易區,開啟美加龐大市場,但同時使得美國低價農產品傾銷到墨西哥,農民生計大受影響。國內有嚴重毒品產業鏈問題,時常發生毒梟之間、或毒梟與政府的激烈槍戰。過往有許多宣誓對抗毒梟的政治人物死於非命。
Year Founded: 1821
Mexico is a federal republic in Central America. After 300 years of Spanish colonization, it is currently the largest Spanish-speaking country by population. 60% of the population has mixed European and Native American ancestry, while 30% are the descendants of Native Americans. Mexico is a country rich in history, tradition, and culture and has preserved many Mayan ruins. In 1994, Mexico entered into NAFTA, gaining access to the huge markets of the US and Canada, but the low prices of US agricultural exports also destroyed the livelihoods of small farmers in Mexico. Drug cartels are a major concern in Mexico. Serious gun battles often occur between drug cartels or with the government. Many politicians who swore to fight against drug cartels were murdered.
