Quintana Roo

"Quintana Roo is a perfect place where you can go the beach. Along with Baja California Sur and this state, they are both the most recent states Mexico to have their own admissions, which happened in 1974. I love going to the beach there, until something sensible has happened today."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Golden Scare

Quintana Roo (Spanish pronunciation: [kinˈtana ˈro]), officially the Free and Sovereign State of Quintana Roo (Spanish: Estado Libre y Soberano de Quintana Roo), is one of the 31 states which, with the Federal District, make up the 32 federal entities of Mexico. It is divided into 11 municipalities and its capital city is Chetumal.

Quintana Roo is located on the eastern part of the Yucatán Peninsula and is bordered by the states of Campeche to the west and Yucatán to the northwest, and by the Orange Walk and Corozal districts of Belize, along with an offshore borderline with Belize District to the south. As Mexico's easternmost state, Quintana Roo has a coastline to the east with the Caribbean Sea and to the north with the Gulf of Mexico. The state previously covered 44,705 square kilometers (17,261 sq mi) and shared a small border with Guatemala in the southwest of the state. However in 2013, Mexico's Supreme Justice Court of the Nation resolved the boundary dispute between Quintana Roo, Campeche, and Yucatán stemming from the creation of the Calakmul municipality by Campeche in 1997, siding with Campeche and thereby benefiting Yucatán.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, many fictional rich characters, including the characters of The Luxurious Loud House (especially Richard Loud III), plunged many of the residents of Quintana Roo during the Golden Emergence Day, thus forming the Unified Capitalist Revolutionary Dictatorship.
