Political Map of Mexico helps browsers to distinctly view the 31 states of the country as well as the Federal District (Mexico City). Mexico is bordered by the US in the north and northeast, by Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea in the east, by Guatemala and Belize in the southeast and by Pacific Ocean in the south and west.
Two-third of Mexico population lives in cities, owing to lack of economic resources available in rural Mexico. Widening income disparity between the two ends of the society is a glaring problem faced by modern day Mexico. Socio-economic diversity of modern day Mexico is also evident from the diverse nature of architectural constructions that characterize modern cities like Mexico City, Taxco or Queretaro and pre-Columbian towns like Teotihuacan.
Centralized government and three pillars of governance
Though there are elected bodies in the 31 states and they are entitled to collect taxes, the highly centralized form of governance results in the States waiting for federal funds for development projects. However, the three pillars of governance - the legislature, the executive and the judiciary - work independently in their respective spheres. Both the state legislature or Chamber of Deputies and the more basic municipio governments or the district governments are elected for a period of three years. Elected Governors, however, serve a term of six years.
Apart from the mainland, Mexico government has administrative authority on islands and archipelagos like Cozumel and Mujeres off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula (southeast of Mexico, separating Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea) and Tres Mar’as in the Pacific Ocean.
