The state of México is one of the important administrative divisions in the country of Mexico. It's like one of the 32 main areas that make up the country. You can find it right in the middle of Mexico.

This state shares its borders with several other states, including Hidalgo, Querétaro, Tlaxcala, Puebla, Michoacán, Morelos, and Guerrero. It also borders Mexico City, which is the capital of the country.

The capital city of the State of Mexico is Toluca. Its biggest city is Ecatepec de Morelos, which is very close to Mexico City. The famous ancient city of Teotihuacan is also located in this state.

The State of Mexico covers an area of about 21,355 square kilometers (that's about 8,245 square miles). Back in 2005, around 14 million people lived there, making it a very populated state!
