Canada
Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia. However, Its population is only about one-fifth of Russia's. Canada has coastlines on the Atlantic, Arctic, and Pacific Oceans, giving it the longest coastline of any country. Nearly 90% of Canadians live within 200 km of the border with the United States, which means that Canada contains vast expanses of wilderness to the north.
The relationship to its powerful southern neighbor is a defining factor for Canada. The US and Canada have the world's largest trading relationship called "The North American Free Trade Agreement" (NAFTA), involving Canada, the US and Mexico
Canada is a multicultural society dependent on immigration for growth. Some 28 percent are of British descent, 23 percent claim French descent (concentrated in Quebec), 2 percent are aboriginal peoples—other minorities include Italians, Germans, Ukrainians, and Chinese.
