Interesting facts about Mexico:

The United Mexican States or Mexico (Spanish: México: the alternate spelling Méjico is sometimes used in Spain but is strongly deprecated in the rest of the Spanish-speaking world) is a country located in North America, bordered to the north by the United States to the south-east by Guatemala and Belize, to the west by the Pacific Ocean and to the east by the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. It is the northernmost and third largest country in Latin America. Situated in the southwestern part of mainland North America and roughly triangular in shape, Mexico stretches more than 1,850 miles from northwest to southeast. It's width is varied, from more than 1,200 miles in the north and less than 135 miles in the south. Mexico borders two major bodies of water, the Pacific Ocean (with the Sea of Cortes in between the mainland and the Baja California peninsula) to the west and on the east the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea that lead to the Atlantic Ocean. Here are found coastal plains, whereas central Mexico consists of high plateaus and rugged mountains, including volcanoes, the highest of which is the Pico de Orizaba at 5,700 m. The terrain and climate vary from deserts in the north to tropical rain forest in the south. Mexico's major rivers include the Rio Bravo (known in the US as the Rio Grande), the Grijalva, the Balsas and the Yaqui. Mexico is the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world and the second most populous country in Latin America after Portuguese-speaking Brazil. Some 60% of the population is of a mixed ethnicity known as mestizo, with 30% being Amerindian and 9% of European descent. The country is predominantly Roman Catholic (89%), with 6% adhering to various Protestant faiths and the remaining 5% either to other smaller religions or is unaffiliated. The vast majority of Mexicans who practice a religion are Christians. During the Spanish conquest of Mexico, Roman Catholicism was established as the dominant sect. While Mexico has been an explicitly secular society since the Mexican Revolution, Catholicism remains the nominal religion of over 90% of the population. As with the cultural expression of language, Mexican Christianity -- especially at the popular level -- incorporates many indigenous beliefs. Perhaps the most striking example of this fusion of different traditions is the widespread veneration of the Our Lady of Guadalupe. The Day of the Dead is another example of religious syncretism, in which the European Catholic All Saints Day is combined with indigenous rites of ancestor veneration. In many Mexican communities, curanderos (traditional healers) use indigenous folk medicine, spiritual, and Christian faith healing to treat ailments and "cleanse" spiritual impurities. Protestantism was introduced by settlers and missionaries from Europe and the USA after the 19th century. The number of evangelical and Pentecostal Mexicans in particular has grown in recent years. The Church of Latter Day Saints, originally introduced by Mormons fleeing religious discrimination in 19th-century United States, has also gained numerous converts. Approximately 60,000 Jews live in Mexico, as do a number of Buddhists and Muslims.
