Only the southwestern U.S. State of New Mexico (capital: Santa Fe) qualifies as such. The other is the country of Mexico (capital: Mexico City), which has been an independent country for over 200 years, and used to own the state of New Mexico until the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). Hence the names and confusion.
