First, the common traits. Mexico and Cuba are both Latin American countries, meaning 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 their independence from Spain. While both nations have been blessed with a higher income than most of the developing countries in the world, these nations have lacked enough investment to put such resources to work and help improve the economic situation of both Mexicans and Cubans alike.
Now, on the differences. Mexico is a North American country with access to the Pacific Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, while Cuba is a Caribbean island with access to both the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. Both are republics, but Mexico is a federation of 31 independent states and one federal district while Cuba is a socialist state with 15 provinces and one special municipality. The racial make up of Mexico is predominantly of mestizo (60%), Amerindian people (30%) and Europeans (9%) while the Cuban people have a different mix of ethnicities including Europeans (64%), mestizo (27%) and people of African (9%) ancestry. In general terms, Mexico is more economically developed than Cuba.
