Southern neighbour of the USA (6)

I believe the answer is:

mexico

(Other definitions for mexico that I've seen before include "Republic in North America" , "Country bordering the United States" , "1968 Olympics host nation" , "American country -- eco-mix (anag)" , "New - - , US state" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
