Mexico

It largely depends on the region, city and even individual neighborhoods, as Mexico is a land of great contrasts.

There are beautiful places with education, income and quality of life equivalent to that of Western Europe as well as poor, ugly and crime-ridden neighborhoods that look like the slums of South-Saharan Africa or Southeast Asia.

See the related links section for an idea of how is Mexico today.

Futbol, aka Soccer of course.

That possibility never entered the minds of politicians or the military leadership. It was a foregone conclusion at the outset that the Mexican population, industrial capacity, economy as well as the battlefield capability and leadership would be no match against the US. It is quite unlikely that even the most optimistic military minds in Mexico wasted any time considering that option. It was only a matter of time.

However, if Mexico had won, California would be part of Mexico or an independent nation. The US might not have absorbed Washington and Oregon, which might be part of Canada. Probably New Mexico, Arizona and parts of Colorado would be part of Mexico. The Texas border would be 100 mile further north and Texas might have eventually left the union and absorbed New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, etc. All pure speculation, of course, and others may reach different but equally valid conclusions.

It is usually sent in refrigerated cargo containers, transported by rail service or trailer containers.

Yes, along a 220 Kilometers (137 miles) border.

The Turtle Bayou Resolutions (1832) qualify as such.

There are three major parties, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), the National Action Party (PAN), and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD). There are five other officially registered parties as well. There are also countless minor parties and groupings that are not represented in federal or state government.

Most people fleeing rural Mexico are doing so because of better economic opportunities. As such, most of them are recruited for menial and labor-intensive jobs because most of them have lack of education and even worse life prospects.

One peso, or 0.092694 dollars. The Mexican peso has been revalued since 1967 so it's difficult to say what the coin's purchasing power would be in current dollars. For example, in the 1980s the peso's value fell to a few thousandths of a U.S. dollar so existing coins and bills were withdrawn and replaced with "neuvo pesos" or new pesos at an exchange rate of 1000 old pesos to 1 nuevo peso.

In any case a circulated peso from that time is not worth more than a small amount as a collector's item, perhaps less than a quarter.

None; however Mexico is the second largest producer of silver (104.2 mill oz) behind Peru (118.3 mill oz) and is also in the world's top ten largest producing countries of celestite (strontium sulfate), bismuth, barite (barium sulfate), manganese, salt, lead an zinc.

An ex convict can get a passport in the United States. He or she may or not be allowed into Mexico on the passport. That would depend on a variety of specific issues that may individually apply.

Not so much mountainous as it is of a hilly nature. It is also crisscrossed by three mountain ranges, being the Sierra Madre Occidental, Sierra Madre Oriental and Sierra Madre del Sur such mountain systems.

There are no direct flights between Mexico and South Africa. Common connections include Atlanta, Paris, Frankfurt and London, meaning your flight may take from 20 hours(Mexico City - Atlanta - Johannesburg) up to 35 hours or more (Mexico City - Atlanta - London - Johannesburg).

Unemployment rates are very high and pay rates are very low. For this reason they would prefer to Immigrate to the US and make in one month what it would take them 1 year to make in Mexico.A lot of people come to the U.S because they want a better life and health care. Some people that immigrate from Mexico leave their wives and children behind. They promise them that they will call them when they get to the U.S and that as soon as they get a job they will send them money so that they could buy the food and clothes they need. In Mexico life is really hard and you also have to pay for your education. People leave Mexico and their education so that they could earn money and get married when they want to instead of having to wait because money is too tight.

Mexico has a form of government known as "federal representative republic", with three government branches: the executive, presided by a president, the legislative composed by a bi-cameral congress, and the judiciary.

The legal system of Mexico is based on the "civil law", also sometimes known as Continental European law.

Soil quality and climate are the main factors for such high population density. Central Mexico has a high altitude above sea level (around 2000 meters or 6500 ft), allowing a temperate climate unlike the scorching deserts to the north, or the suffocating tropical rain-forests to the south.

Also, central Mexico's altitude is the result of strong volcanic activity, resulting in rich topsoil that allows higher agricultural yields and in turn, bigger populations.

The flight time from San Juan in Puerto Rico to Jamaica is approximately 7 hours and 2 minutes.

The total distance is approximately 5583.45 km or 3469 miles.

This flight time is approximate. Factors such as weather conditions could affect the flight time.

On general terms, yes. Considering that Mexico has the same land area of Spain, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Germany put together, it is. Some places in Mexico have frequent snowfalls, others are temperate and many others are hotter such as deserts and tropical rainforests.

Mexico has some of the world's largest deposits of petroleum, silver, copper, gold, lead, zinc and natural gas; it is a major producer of timber and hydroelectric power and has minor, however commercially important deposits of minerals such as gypsum, iron, tin and sulfur.

Driving distance is 1857 kilometers (1154 miles). Flight distance (as the crow flies) is of 1567 kilometers (974 miles).

Because it is one of the many species of animals bred in Mexico, along horses, mules, chickens or cattle.
