'''Mexico''' is a country in [[North America]], directly south of the [[United States]]. It is a newly industrialized country, meaning it is in the intermediate stage between third world and full development. However, some parts of the country (mostly in the south) are noted because of a poor economy, causing it to be the main contributor of [[illegal immigration]] to the [[United States]] to find work. Mexico is a federal republic with 31 states and 1 federal district. It's capital is Mexico City.
