Your question is SO badly worded I can't even decide if its just badly put or if my friend above is correct and you really are "an idiot or a moron."

NEW Mexico is a state in the southwest of the USA.

The Estados Unidos Mexicanos (United Mexican States) often simply called "Mexico," is a country (in the form of a federal republic) just to the south of the United States.

The Estado de M茅xico (often called simply Edomex) is one of those Mexican states (the most populous one) which sits like a giant horseshoe around the west, north and east of the City of Mexico or Distrito Federal.

The Distrito Federal is the federal district which contains the capital of the country. It was once considered legally a separate entity including Mexico City and several suburbs. After constitutional changes, all the suburbs (except those within the Estado de Mexico) were absorbed into the city and Mexico City now is the DF and the DF is Mexico City. ( about 1/2 of the greater metropolitan population now lies inside the DF and 1/2 lies inside the Estado de Mexico.) People living OUTSIDE the city use "Mexico City" to include all the metropolitan area. People who live inside the area use "Mexico City" to refer ONLY to the DF (which is technically and legally correct.)

citizens of the country are refered to as "Mexicanos."

citizens of the state are "Mexiquenses"

citizens of the city are called "Capitalinos," or more commonly, "Chilangos" or "Defe帽os"

Hope this covers just about anything......... Source(s): proud Defe帽o and proud ex-Mexiquense
