Mexico

Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec civilization.

The US-Mexico border has a length of 3,141 Kilometers (1,952 miles) across the U.S. States of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. No wonder it will cost $21.6 billion at the very least.

Spain qualifies as such.

The northern states of Zacatecas, Chihuahua, Durango and Sonora are the places where most silver is mined in Mexico. Also the southern state of Guerrero (and its world-known Taxco silver) qualifies as such.

El Salvador is on the North Pacific Ocean.

You're joking, right!! Mexico is the large land mass wedged between southern Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California, and extends southeast-ward until it collides with Guatamala and British Honduras. On the east it is bounded by the Gulf of Mexico, and on the west by the Pacific.

• The piñata is part of the decor of many Mexican holidays, including Las Posadas. Celebrated each evening from Dec. 16 to Dec. 24, each evening's party ends with a piñata in the shape of the Christmas star. Piñatas are also used for birthday celebrations.

continental tropical air mass.

The Aztec (or Mexica, es they knew themselves) qualify as such. They founded their capital city Mexico-Tenochtitlan on a marshy island in the middle of Lake Texcoco in March 13, 1325.

There were a few great civilizations that flourished in Mesoamerica (modern day Mexico and central america) before the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. Right before the Spanish the Aztec Empire dominated the area. Before the Aztecs it was the the Toltecs. And before the Toltecs it was the Mayans. And before the Mayans it was the Zapotecs, who were contemporary to the Romans in Europe.

It depends on your definition of 'good environment'. On general terms, it has a 'contained' pollution problem and most tourist spots and resort cities have a better environment, as they depend on the beauty of the landscape.

It may be dirty, but it is not ugly at all.

It is a federal state in central Mexico. Its capital city, Puebla de Zaragoza, is the place where the Cinco de Mayo (5th of May) battle took place in 1862, between Mexican and French forces, with an overwhelming victory on the Mexican side.

Puebla is the 9th largest state in Mexico in economic terms (US$61.1 billion). It also has a population of 5.78 million and a GDP per capita of some US$10,570. It is known as the place where mole (a thick, homogeneous sauce of complex flavors) was born.

Mexico has had three national flags since the moment it became independent from Spain; however it had many other flags during its War of Independence: from the "Lady of Guadalupe" banner Miguel Hidalgo used on his cry for independence, to the Three Guarantees Army flag that was used as model to the modern national flags.

From mid-August to mid-July of the next year (i.e. summer break is about 4 weeks-long).

From USA mail service to the first point in Mexico takes 24 hrs but then from the arrival point in Mexico to the final destination up to a month thanks to the awful, old, arcaic, lazy and corrupt mexican people and systems

Tulum is a popular tourist site because it is the one of the most recent, best-preserved Mayan sites on the Mexican coast. In addition to its well-preserved Mayan ruins, it is only a short distance from the famous tourist resorts in Cancun.

Yes; Mexico works with 120V, 1.5A, 50.60 Hz altern current (AC). What may vary, though, is the power socket. Many homes and offices have the American variation (NEMA 5-15 - North American 15 A/125 V grounded) but some (specially old housing) have an old version of such sockets named NEMA 1-15 which have only two blades, and no ground rod.

If you are planning to visit Mexico, you should ask at the front-desk what type of sockets do they have. Otherwise, to be prepared, you could buy a connector at your nearest hardware or electric store.

Mexico would have an overall warmer climate than Canada, because it is closer to the equator.

About 4,000 oil platforms

One of them is Avenida de losInsurgentes, the longest avenue in Mexico city and apparently, of the world with a length of 28.8 km (18 miles) on a north-south axis across the city.

Both. From 1521 to 1821 it was a Spanish colony; once it won its independence, Mexico became an empire (First Mexican Empire) until 1823, when it switched to a Republic.

Later, when France launched an invasion into Mexico, established a puppet government which was an empire (Second Mexican Empire). This empire lasted from 1864 to 1867 until Benito Juarez and his followers restored the Republic.
