Local Government.
Each separate State has its own internal constitution, government, and laws ; but inter-State customs duties are not permitted, though State taxes are levied. Each State has its governor, legislature, and judicial officers popularly elected under rules similar to those of the Federation ; and the civil and criminal code in force in the Federal District prevails only in the Federal District and Territories (Tepic, Lower California, and Quintana Roo). All the other States of the Mexican Union have their own special codes based, more or less, on those of the Federal District ; but at the same time they must publish and enforce laws issued by the Federal Government.
Area and Population.
Since 1900 the territory of Quintana Roo has been formed on the S.-W. coast of Yucatan.
