Mexico, the oldest country in North America

Mexico (English: The United States of Mexico, Spanish: Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos) is located in North America, bordering the United States to the north, Guatemala and Belize to the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California to the west. To the east is the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, and its capital is Mexico City.

Mexico is a free market economy.

Mexico’s economic strength ranks fourth in the Americas and thirteenth in the world. Mexico has modern industry and agriculture, and its capital and largest city is Mexico City.

Mexico is one of the centers of ancient Indian civilization in the American continent. The world-famous Mayan culture, Toltec culture and Aztec culture were all created by the ancient Indians of Mexico. The Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon built in the north of Mexico City in BC are representatives of this splendid ancient culture. The ancient city of Teotihuacan, where the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon are located, has been declared a Universal Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

The ancient Indians of Mexico cultivated corn, so Mexico is known as the "Hometown of Corn". In different historical periods, Mexico has also won the reputation of "the country of cactus", "the kingdom of silver", and "the country floating on the sea of ??oil".
