I mean the other 2 countries, Canada and Mexico, how similar are both of them to United States?? Both countries have a similar economy and democracy etc, and I think those two countries share things like supermarkets, stores, etc. I suppose the cultural differences are not a lot, that is very nice.

    I assumed Mexico was poor, but after looking it up I see you’re right. They’re very close. But their GDP per capita is much worse, and their income gap is muuuuch worse (though not as bad as the USA).

    So Mexicans are poorer and the rule of law is extremely different. So I think the wealth and crime aspects bring USA and Canada closer together. Plus being mostly Anglo.

    Maybe the USA bridges those two worlds by ranging from nearly-arctic to literal deserts, and having extreme wealth inequality. But USA and Canada are children of the British empire and prime examples of the western capitalist lifestyle.
