Mexican state

A Mexican state is a regional division within the country of Mexico, similar to states or provinces in other nations. Each state has its own government, laws, and constitution, while still being part of the larger federal system of Mexico. Mexico is divided into 32 states, including Mexico City, the capital. These states manage local affairs such as education, police, and infrastructure, but federal issues like defense and foreign policy are overseen by the national government. States vary in size, culture, and economy, reflecting the country’s rich diversity.
