Reply to comment by ce_miquiztetl in Same-sex marriage is now legal in all of Mexico's states by AdamCannon

I did not know that. Thank you for that geography lesson, I never even thought if Mexico had states, provinces, or was just a large area with cities in it. The maps here don't even call it Mexican United States, just Mexico. Is there counties, or perishes, too?

FYI basically every single country on the planet has provinces or states.

The minority that don’t are extremely small or just edge cases like Vatican.

States in Mexico are divided in municipalities, which are kind of equivalent to the counties in the US

We don’t really call a lot of countries what their official name is because usually it’s some distinction of their political organization.

Morocco is the Kingdom of Morocco. Russia is technically the Russian Federation. China is technically the People’s Republic of China. India is the Republic of India. Algeria is the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria.
