Besides being the immediate neighbor of the United States, Mexican geography actually hinders its development.
Mexico sits atop three tectonic plates, resulting in a very rugged topography. This means that there are almost no navigable rivers, and railroad lines are often limited to certain areas within the country. Also, geography has resulted in scorching deserts to the north, and suffocating rainforests to the south, which historically, have limited the growth of populations and economic development.
The only benefits attained from Mexico's geography include its rich Natural Resources such as oil, gold and copper, and the varied climates that allow several food and cash crops to be grown. Also Mexico has a broad border with the United States to the north, and coasts along the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, which allow maritime routes to exchange products with Asia and Europe.
