Mexico has a long-standing tradition for incredible art, from Frida Kahlo to José Clemente Orozco. Through a program called Pago en Especie (Payment in Kind) artists pay their taxes by giving pieces of their art to the government. The Pago en Especie public collection contains over 7,000 pieces, including paintings, sculptures, and graphics. The pieces are housed in museums all over the world, and if you're visiting Mexico you can see many of them in the national heritage collection at the Museo Nacional del Arte in Mexico City.

Historians have traced the origins of chocolate back to the ancient Olmecs, who lived in what is now southern Mexico around 1500 B.C. The Olmecs passed the craft on to the Mayans, who revered chocolate and used chocolate drinks in many of their ceremonies. But chocolate really took off with the Aztecs, who lived in central Mexico from 1300 to 1521. The Aztecs called chocolate the "drink of the gods," and even cacao beans as currency, valuing them more precious than gold. (Which, of course, any chocoholic will agree with.)

One of the most interesting facts about Mexico is that you don't even know its proper name. That's right, the country is not really called "Mexico." After gaining its independence from Spain in 1821, the newfound country took on the title Estados Unidos Mexicanos in 1824. That's because it wanted to model itself after the democracy in the United States (Estados Unidos).
