I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was Mexico City's old affiliation with the nation of Mexico?
All the background I'm provided with is that "On January 29, 2016, it ceased to be called the Federal District (Spanish: Distrito Federal or D.F.) and is now in transition to become the country's 32nd federal entity, giving it a level of autonomy comparable to that of a state.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
