What is the difference between Mexico and Venezuela?
First, the common traits. Mexico and Bolivia are Latin American countries, meaning both have a majority of people who speak Spanish, profess the Roman Catholic religion and at some point during their respective histories, were conquered, colonized and finally gained its independence from Spain. Both are also very rich in natural resources, but these nations have lacked enough investment to put such resources to work and help improve the economic situation of both Mexicans and Bolivians alike.
Now, on the differences. Mexico is a North American country with access to the sea, while Bolivia is a South American, landlocked nation. Both are republics, but Mexico is a federation of 31 independent states and one federal district while Bolivia is a "social unitarian state" with 9 departments. The racial make up of Mexico is predominantly of mestizo (60%) and Amerindian people (30%) while the Bolivian people are just the opposite (55% of Quechua and Aymara plus 30% of mestizo). In general terms, Mexico is more economically developed than Bolivia.
