Mexico: World's 2nd Deadliest Nation

[Divemaster]

In 2016, Mexico saw around 23,000 violent deaths. This was second in the world only to Syria, and ahead of both Iraq and Afghanistan. And yes, ahead of Chicago.

Data junkies and deep divers, have a look at this report at the link below. One thing I found particularly interesting was the discussion of the phrase Pax Sinaloa around page 30 or so. This is something I privately speculated about during the years homocide rates fell (being a student of ancient Rome, I wish I was clever enough to come up with the phrase).
