Mexico
The largest Spanish-speaking country by population, Mexico bridges North and Central America with coastlines on the Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean. Mexico City, the capital and one of the world's largest metropolitan areas, was built on the ruins of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan. Mexico has the world's richest archaeological heritage of pre-Columbian civilizations and is a major manufacturing and oil-producing nation.
