Accounting for population growth, Mexico is one of the most successful countries. The standard way of measering growth on a per-capita basis doesn't account for this, but that's a bias towards resource-rich countries with declining populations.

America should agree to merge with Mexico. It would be more powerful than anyone has imagined.

In English, singular "America" normally refers to the United States of America, not the entire western hemisphere.

Indeed, if you wanted to refer to MEX, CAN + USA as one entity you would use “North America”. But America is colloquially understood to mean USA
