Introduction to Mexico.
Mexico,
in full United Mexican States (Estados Unidos Mexicanos in Spanish),
federal republic in North America. Mexico is the fifth largest country
in the Western Hemisphere. Mexico’s efforts to develop and modernize its
economy—one of the 15 largest in the world—have been slowed by the
nation’s rugged terrain, limited farmland, a rapidly growing population,
and a series of economic crises. The nation’s capital, Mexico City, is
one of the largest cities in the world. In Latin America, only Brazil
has a larger population than Mexico.
Mexico is bordered by the United States on the north, the Pacific Ocean
on the west, the Gulf of Mexico
and the Caribbean Sea on the east, and Guatemala and Belize on the
south. It is characterized by an extraordinary diversity in topography
and climate and is crossed by two major mountain chains, the Sierra
Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental. The high central plateau
between these two mountain ranges historically funneled most of the
human population toward the center of this region. Mexico features
volcanic peaks, snow-capped mountains, tropical rain forests, and
internationally famous beaches. Mexico City is an enormous metropolitan
area and dominates the
rest of the country’s culture, economy, and politics. Nearly one-fifth
of the nation’s population lives in the immediate vicinity of the
capital. Mexico City is also a central hub for Mexico’s transportation
network—including railroads, highways, and airlines. Cruise Ports of Mexico

and Cozumel are major ports on the Gulf of Mexico. Important Pacific
ports include Acapulco, Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallarta.
