Mexico has a total population of approximately 104.9 million with one of the fastest population growth rates in the world.  Mexico is slightly larger than the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, Canada, yet the population of Mexico City alone is four times the population of those provinces.  Spanish is the principal language; Roman Catholicism is the nominal religion of 95% of the people.  There is religious freedom and, as result, there are about 180 assemblies in the country.
