A Mexican State (Spanish: Estados), officially the Free and Sovereign State (Spanish: Estado libre y soberano), is a constituent federative entity of Mexico according to the Constitution of Mexico. Currently there are 31 states, each with its own constitution, government, state governor, and state congress. In the hierarchy of Mexican administrative divisions, states are further divided into municipalities. Currently there are 2,462 municipalities in Mexico.
Although not formally a state, Mexico City (Spanish: Ciudad de México), the capital city of United Mexican States and formerly designed as the Federal District (Spanish: Distrito Federal), has been made a separate federative entity that has autonomy on par with the states since a constitutional amendment in 2016.[1][2][3][4] Mexico City is divided into 16 boroughs (Spanish: demarcaciones territoriales), similar to other states' municipalities but with different administrative powers.[5]
The current Mexican governmental publications usually lists 32 federative entity (31 states and Mexico City), and 2,478 municipalities (includes the 16 boroughs of Mexico City).
