Economics About 18% of working population is employed in agriculture. Oil production plays a major part in the Mexican economy. Other resources are natural gas, silver, copper, gold, lead and zinc

Economics The variation in climate leads to the production of a variety of crops such as wheat, corn, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, cocoa, coffee, rice, (chicle) gum and tobacco. Mexico produces honey, oranges, bananas and pineapples. The agricultural sector includes ranches with large herds of beef cattle. Mexican fisheries produce shrimps, prawns, oysters, sardine and tuna.

Economics Mexico City and the surrounding area is an important manufacturing region. There is a domestic motor vehicle industry.

Economics Tourism a major earner of foreign currency. Cancun, the huge tourist resort area on the Yucatan coast, earns much of Mexico's tourist revenue. Another source of hard currency is the money sent back to the country by Mexicans working in the USA

Politics Felipe Calderon President of Mexico Politics of Mexico are based on a congressional system, where the president of Mexico is both head of state and head of govermnent, and of a multi-party system. The politics of Mexico are dominated by three political parties: National Action Party (PAN), the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) and Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

Politics The Federeal Goverment is made up of 3 Branches. Executive Legislature Judicial As establishe by the Constitution, published in The Constitution
