Each is owned today, earns today, and can lift Mexico closer to Perfect Capita. * 01 * ### The People * 131.9mCitizens, 2025 * 80 in every hundred live in towns and cities; the rest live on the land they farm and fish. * 02 * ### The Land * 50.6%Of land in farms and pasture * The land that feeds the nation, and the first place a citizen dividend can be earned. * 03 * ### The Forest * 34.2%Of land under forest * Standing forest holds the water, soil and carbon that the world will pay to keep. * 04 * ### The Water * 3,180 m³Renewable fresh water per person * Enough to supply every home, once it is stored, treated and piped. * 05 * ### The Power * 23.4%Of energy from renewables, 2021 * Sun, wind, water and biomass already carry part of the load; the rest is the opportunity. What each asset is worth, and how far it can carry Mexico toward Perfect Capita, is the question our research and our guests take up below. [Sovereign Assets](https://perfectnations.org/sovereign-assets/) Design Studio · Perfect Capita ## The Mexico wheel: held at 43 by water * **To set**Perfect CapitaThe yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards, set with Mexico in its own prices. * **To set**The price of Perfect MexicoPerfect Capita times the population: the national bill, each year. * **43**CoverageOut of 100, set by water, the standard Mexico provides least. * **~75m**The GapMexicans without safely managed drinking water at home: 57 in every hundred. **The Living Line**The poverty line measures income. The Living Line measures a life: food, water, shelter, energy, education, health and livelihood. Perfect Capita is the yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards. Coverage scores each standard strictly out of 100, and a nation is held at its weakest: Mexico at 43, by water, with education at 52.4 and shelter at 62.7 next.
