If you had to live the rest of your life in one Mexican State, which one would it be?
Mexico is divided into 31 states (estados) and a federal district. Each state has its own constitution and its citizens elect a governor as well as representatives to their respective state congresses.
The terrain and climate vary from rocky deserts in the north to tropical rain forest in the south. Mexico's major rivers include the R%uFFFDo Bravo del Norte (Rio Grande) and the Usumacinta on its northern and southern borders, respectively, together with the Grijalva, Balsas, P%uFFFDnuco, and Yaqui in the interior.
With an estimated 2005 population of about 106.5 million, Mexico is the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world.

If you had to live the rest of your life in one Mexican State, which one would it be?
Your choice might be Colima.
Why?
Because not only is Colima the perfect introduction to Mexico, boasting a little bit of everything, but it also avoids the excesses that characterize some coastal areas.
Yet, it has it all: tropical beaches, superb hotels, serious hiking, rock-climbing, thousand year old tombs, spelunking, great golf courses, bird-watching... you name it, you can probably do it somewhere in the state!
Colima city, with a population of approximately 130,000, is the state's capital city and is located 64 miles (103 kilometers) northeast of the state's second major city, Manzanillo. A fishing, tourist, and port city, Manzanillo dominates this area of Mexico's Pacific coast.

The town of Puerto Vallarta is situated at the bottom of the mountains, almost midway from point to point of the Bahia de Banderas. Here is the heart of the area. Stretching out along the Bay of Banderas to the north is the hotel zone, the marina area and then, crossing a state line and a time zone is Nuevo Vallarta.
While Puerto Vallarta is often thought of as a tropical beach destination, it is so much more. There are diverse zones and areas that appeal to specific personalities, from back-packer to jet-setter and everyone in between.

Information about Mexico from Wikipedia
The United Mexican StatesThe alternative translation Mexican United States is occasionally used. The Federal Constitution of the Mexican United States. (), commonly known as Mexico () ( ), is a federal constitutional republic in North America. It is bordered on the north by the United States; on the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; on the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea; and on the east by the Gulf of Mexico.Merriam-Websters Geographical Dictionary, 3rd ed. Springfield, MA: Merriam-Webster, Inc.; p. 733"Mexico". The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed. 2001?6. New York: Columbia University Press. Covering almost 2 million square kilometres, Mexico is the fifth-largest country in the Americas by total area and the 14th largest independent nation in the world. With an estimated population of 109 million, it is the 11th most populous country. Mexico is a federation comprising thirty-one states and a Federal District, the capital city.
In Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica many cultures matured into advanced civilizations such as the Olmec, the Toltec, the Teotihuacan, the Maya and the Aztec before the first contact with Europeans. In 1521, Spain created the New Spain which would eventually become Mexico as the colony gained independence in 1821. The post-independence period was characterized by economic instability, territorial secession and civil war, including foreign intervention, two empires and two long domestic dictatorships. The latter led to the Mexican Revolution in 1910, which culminated with the promulgation of the 1917 Constitution and the emergence of the countrys current political system. Elections held in July 2000 marked the first time that an opposition party won the presidency from the Institutional Revolutionary Party (, PRI).
As a regional power and the only Latin American member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) since 1994, Mexico is firmly established as an upper middle-income country, considered as a newly industrialized country and has the 11th largest economy in the world by GDP by purchasing power parity, and also the largest GDP per capita in Latin America according to the International Monetary FundInternational Monetary Fund, Report April 2009. The economy is strongly linked to those of its North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners. Despite being considered an emerging power,G8: Despite Differences, Mexico Comfortable as G5 Emerging Power the uneven income distribution and the increase in drug-related violence are issues of concern.
