To illustrate how deep Mexico is in the hole, they are literally three months from default.

To also illustrate further how deep the hole is, I found out what the debt was when I was France in the last game

"The majority of the debts, 69 million pesos(£1,518,000,000) , was owed to Great Britain. The French had only some 3 million pesos (£66,000,000) in claims, but the Jecker claims gave the French another 15 million pesos.(£330,000,000 ) (French total £396,000,000)

And a calculator.)

Now of course a little bit of conversion would have to happen as we are working in thousand here but there you go.
