Mexico is a country located in North America, bordered at the north by the United States and at the south with Guatemala and Belize in Central America. Mexico is the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world.

The indigenous civilizations of Mexico are credited with many inventions: building pyramid-temples, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, writing, highly-accurate calendars, fine arts, intensive agriculture, engineering and the wheel.

Mexico is a racially and ethnically diverse country. Its three main ethnic groups are mestizos (mixed European and Amerindian), Amerindians and Europeans. Whites are mostly Spanish descendants, though there are those descended from past or recent immigration of Germans, Italians, French, Portuguese, British, Swedish, Irish and also white Americans. Mexico is also home for many other Latin American emigrants, including most numerously Argentines — Mexico being home to the largest Argentine population outside of Argentina, and the country where the greatest number of U.S citizens live outside the United States.

Mexico boasts a wealth of regional cultures that is unique in the Americas. Every region in the country has a distinct culture, languages and arts that create a huge mosaic as a whole.
