Mexico, or the United Mexican States, is an Earthican nation founded in 1821. By the 31st century, it is a major manufacturing center including the production of robots for MomCorp (2ACV08). In this country, Bender was built, and Hermes lived for a time as Inspector #5 in Mom's Friendly Robot Company (6ACV06).

Trivia
- Gaining entry into Mexico is either a difficult or very easy process in the 31st century. One can produce multiple forms of documentation to a border official, or one can simply bribe that official (6ACV06).
- The build quality of Mexican robots is questionable; when Bender revealed his "Hecho en Mexico" engraving, he closed his chest door and it promptly fell off (3ACV01).
- As a counterargument, because Bender was also built without a backup unit, the policy was that he was supposed to have been scrapped; however, it was Hermes who decided that despite his defect he should be allowed to live (6ACV06).
Quotes
Referee: Ladies and gentlemen and smizmars, welcome to tonight's main event. In this corner, from Mom's Friendly Robot Factory in America's heartland, Mexico: Bender!
Bender: [In Electric Ladyland Laptop Dances.] Hubba-hubba, she is built — in Mexico, I believe.
Bender: Whoa, whoa, whoa! I'm Mexican and I find that offensive. [He opens his chest cabinet. "Hecho En Mexico" is etched on the inside of his door. He closes it and it falls off.]
Bender: Oh, no? I'm 40% lucky. [He bangs on his chest twice.] The scrap metal I'm made from included a truckload of horseshoes from the luckiest racehorses in Mexico, who had just been sent to a glue factory.
