How many regions is Mexico divided into?

Answer 1

There are six regions within Mexico, that group the 31 different states and one Federal District according to socioeconomic similarities:

• Northwestern Mexico, including the states of Baja California, Baja California Sur, Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua and Durango.

• Northern Mexico, including Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas.

• Western Mexico, including Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima and Michoacan.

• Northern Mexican Altiplano, including Zacatecas, San Luis Potosi, Aguascalientes and Guanajuato.

• Southern Mexican Altiplano, composed by Queretaro, Hidalgo, Tlaxcala, Puebla, Morelos, Mexico State and the Federal District, containing Mexico City.

• Southern Mexico, including Guerrero, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo.

Answer 2

Mexico is subdivided into federal states. There are 31 of them, and a Federal District, which belongs to the federation as a whole.

On the other hand, the Mexican political system is subdivided into three powers: the executive, the legislative and the judiciary.

Answer 3

Mexico has political divisions much like the US:

Mexico's name is officially "United Mexican States". Therefore, it is a federal republic composed of 31 independent states and a Federal District (much like Washington DC). Some of these states would be Baja California Norte, Sonora, Guerrero or Yucatan.

Each state is subdivided into municipalities, just like US counties.
