Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The United Mexican States is a federation made up of thirty-one "free and sovereign states". These states constitute one federated State or Union. The federal government has exclusive jurisdiction over the Federal District, a territory which does not belong to any state but to all, as well as the islands, atolls and reefs that do not belong to any state. The Federal District is coextensive with Mexico City, capital of the federation and seat of government. The 31 states and the Federal District are collectively called federal entities (entidades federativas in Spanish). Animated map of the territorial evolution of Mexico The United Mexican States were born as an independent Union after the ratification of the Federal Constitution of the United Mexican States, on October 4, 1824. During the course of the year, several provinces which had been part of the ephemeral Mexican Empire, decided to not join the Union and to become an independentstate made up by the territory that once had formed the Captaincy General of Guatemala.
