Mexico is a country located in North America, bordering the United States. To the north, it borders the United States; to the southeast, it borders Guatemala and Belize. The country is washed by the Gulf of California and the Pacific Ocean to the west, and by the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea to the east. Mexico is considered the largest Spanish-speaking country in the world.
The territory of the country is 1,972,550 square kilometers, making it larger than Indonesia but smaller than Saudi Arabia. It declared itself an independent state on September 16, 1810 (the day the War of Independence against the Spanish colonial authorities began). The most recent census in 2023 showed that the country has a population of approximately 129,151,256 people. One hypothesis suggests that the country got its name from the goddess of agave, Mectli.
