Canada
Canada is a country occupying most of northern North America, extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the
west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by total area, and shares land borders with the United States to
the south and northwest.
The lands have been inhabited for millennia by aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French expeditions
explored and later settled the Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years War. In
1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal, semi-autonomous polity.
This began an accretion of additional provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom, highlighted by
the Statute of Westminster in 1931 and culminating in the Canada Act in 1982 which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British
parliament.
A federation now comprising ten provinces and three territories, Canada is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy
with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. It is a bilingual and multicultural country, with both English and French as official languages at the
federal level. Technologically advanced and industrialized, Canada maintains a diversified economy that is heavily reliant upon its abundant
natural resources and upon trade—particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship
