Where it is
Mexico is grouped in North America, within Roam’s North America region. Its land-border list includes 3 countries in this atlas: Belize, Guatemala, United States. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Mexico has a recorded area of 1,964,375 square kilometres. Among the 3 countries assigned to North America in this dataset, it ranks 3 by area, from largest to smallest. United States is immediately above it in that ordering, at 9,525,067 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 131,946,900 people for Mexico in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 67 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Spanish. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Mexican Peso (MXN). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
