Canada
Canada, a giant in North America, is the world's second-biggest country by area. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and far north into the Arctic Ocean. This vast landscape boasts a variety of geographical wonders, from towering mountains to sprawling prairies, thick forests, and icy tundra. Most Canadians live in the south, close to the long border with the United States. That's where you'll find major cities like Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. Canada is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy. Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state, but the Prime Minister holds most of the political power. French and English are both official languages, reflecting the country's rich multicultural heritage.
