      As far as I understand, the older, arguably more correct pronunciation is “Meshico” (like the people the Mexicas (Pronounced “Meshicas”).

      You have to consider the spelling with X might have come from Catalan or Valenciano (not Castillian), where the X is often used for “sh” sounds.

      So the Italians are just Old-School, but maybe closer to historically correct.

      Italy has no point in being red and so noticeable; it should be either Spain or Portugal

      Is it also pronounced with a „sh“ in Luxembourg or does it have no data? I’m not sure if it and Portugal have the same shade of grey. Also I believe Luxembourgish has a „ks“ sound there, ar leadt according to wiki

      Why do Latin alphabet countries change names instead of using the original spelling.

      Spanish from Spain (Castellano) writes it México, but pronounces Méjico ( like if it was an H). other spanish languages might vary.
      Same with Texas / Tejas. We even call denim pants Tejanos.

      Btw, in Russian we have: country with ks/кс (Мексика), and city with h/х (Мехико). As you can see, the ending is also different ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      In Catalan, some people pronounce it with /ks/ and other people with /ʒ/:

      Spelling: Mèxic 

      Pronunciation 1: Mèksik

      Pronunciation 2: Mèjik

      Please use the IPA to represent pronunciation not some random letters
