Mexico is not a parliamentary democracy. Both Mexico (formally named the United States of Mexico) and the United States of America to its north are federal presidential republics. In both, the chief executive is also the Heat of State and is elected by essentially direct vote of the people, separate from their selection of representatives for the legislature.

The most important crop would be corn, followed by wheat and rice. Soybean is also grown, but on a lesser degree. Most cereal crops are for internal consumption, but demand is so extensive that corn and wheat are imported from the United States.

Mexico also cultivates oranges, apples, table grapes, tangerines, grapefruit, pears and raisins; followed by bananas, mangoes, lemons, limes, watermelons, peaches, nectarines, plums, avocados, pineapples, and strawberries. Most fruit grown in Mexico is exported to the United States, Europe and Japan markets during the winter season.

No. Mexico is a huge country three times the size of Texas with a population of over 111 million people who earn a third of what an average US worker makes. The possibility of such economic integration is very difficult at best. Besides, the culture imposes a limit on what can be done: Mexicans speak Spanish and are Roman-Catholic, and are as nationalistic as any American would be. To Mexicans, inviting them to become the 51st state is like asking Americans to become the Russian Communist Republic of "Amerika".

Though the expired passport is not valid, you can still use it as an I.D. to get on the plane, It happened to me a couple of months ago. I lost my drivers license and didn't have time to go to DMV before the trip, so I got to the airport early and pointed out that my passport was expired and told them about my drivers license. I also showed them my insurance card, credit card, and work ID. I had to go through extra screening (which actually got me through faster because they pulled me out of the line), but I got on the plane both ways (and I flew out of Dulles on the way back to San Francisco.

I'm also a Notary and you can use a expired passport (up to five years after it expires) as I.D. to get something notarized (in California).

Oaxaca is located in the Central Time Zone whereas New York City is in the Eastern Time Zone. Keep in mind, however, that Mexico's start/end dates for Daylight Savings Time are different from that in the US.

Lower costs. In general terms, a Mexican worker earns a quarter of what an American worker does. This, together with the fact that many industries pay lower taxes if they bring work to Mexico, increase the attractiveness of establishing factories in such a country.

There are 1,259 kilometers (782 miles) from Galveston, Texas and the island of Cozumel, Mexico.

Leaders who signed NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement)

- President George H. W. Bush of the United States

- President Carlos Salinas de Gortari of Mexico

- Prime Minister Brian Mulroney of Canada

The signing of NAFTA in 1992 created a free-trade zone in North America. Although many United States workers were adversely affected by the availability of cheaper labor in Mexico, NAFTA appears to have had a beneficial effect on the country's economy as a whole. Lower income jobs in the United States became harder to find and the United States moved up on the world's economic ladder as it moved to a Quaternary economic status. Quaternary- An economic status of information creation and discovery centered jobs. Examples of jobs: An Astronaut, Geologist, Scientist...

Yes, you do just in case you are stranded. You can't fly home without one. --- you actually couldn't get off the ship at any port of call or in the USA without one. They might actually make you show your passport before you board the ship, simply because you will be required to have one when the ship returns and that would save a lot of headaches

Yes, it is safe. You should remember not to bring anything from Belize that can land you in jail (ie: weapons, ammunition, drugs).

NO! Mexico, usually for costume or traditional for the men in the mariachi

Where ever the person with the sombrero wants.

... but more specific, Mexico! :)

Texians and Tejanos alike wanted to keep Texas as a slave state.

First on the background of the war:

When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, all the territories it possessed included Mexico, most of Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica) as well as today's US States of California, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and parts of Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas and Wyoming.

Due to the extremely low population for such territorial extension (estimated at 12 million during 1824), Mexico relaxed its immigration policies, thus allowing American settlers to help populate the northern territories. The conditions to settle were simple: 1) to pledge allegiance to Mexico and 2) observe the Mexican Law and customs. In 1830, these laws incorporated the banning of slavery. Due to the fact that many American settlers in such territories were slave owners, they looked for any pretext to break up with Mexico.

Later, Mexican President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna took measures to transform Mexico from a Federal Republic to a Centralist Republic. This move prompted Yucatan and Texas to secede from Mexico. Santa Anna's government invaded both republics; while Yucatan was regained, Texas was lost. The Texas Revolution ended after the Battle of San Jacinto, but Mexico did not officially recognize the independence of Texas until after the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) as part of the Guadalupe-Hidalgo treaty.

It was first domesticated in Mexico over 3000 years ago; traditional Mexican food has maize as one of the key ingredients on most of its dishes since then.

Currently, maize is the second largest crop after sugar cane. Mexico is also the 7th largest producer of such crop in the world.

These were brought by Spanish conquistadores who conquered Mexico in the 16th century. Although piñatas are commonly associated in Mexico, these were originally "invented" in China. After Marco Polo's expedition in the 14th century, these were brought to Europe (pignattas). From there, these were adopted by Spain.

With 1,972,550 square kilometers (761,606 square miles), Mexico is the 15th largest in terms of area.

Yes; there are several species of iguanas found in Mexico. Some examples include the Mexican spiny-tailed iguana (Ctenosaura pectinata), the desert iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis) or the green iguana (Iguana iguana).

The flight time for flights between the above places is 11 hours 12 mins

This is an approximate travel time (calculated in ideal conditions. The travel speed is 500 mph and 30 mins for take off and landing). The actual time might change depending on the flight path chosen, weather conditions, etc
