    Canada is a country in North America.

    Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic
    Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and northward into the Arctic Ocean, making it the world's second-largest
    country by total area, with the world's longest coastline. Its border with the United States is the world's
    longest international land border. The country is characterized by a wide range of both meteorologic
    and geological regions. With a population of just over 41 million people, it has widely varying population
    densities, with the majority residing in urban areas and large areas of the country being sparsely
    populated. Canada's capital is Ottawa and its three largest metropolitan areas are Toronto, Montreal,
    and Vancouver.

    have continuously inhabited what is now Canada for thousands of years. Beginning in the 16th century,
    British and French expeditions explored and later settled along the Atlantic coast. As a consequence of
    various armed conflicts, France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763. In 1867, with
    the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a
    federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories resulting in the
    displacement of Indigenous populations, and a process of increasing autonomy from the United
    Kingdom. This increased sovereignty was highlighted by the Statute of Westminster, 1931, and
    culminating in the Canada Act 1982, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the Parliament
    of the United Kingdom.

    Canada is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy in the Westminster tradition. The
    country's head of government is the prime minister, who holds office by virtue of their ability to
    command the confidence of the elected House of Commons and is appointed by the governor general,
    representing the monarch of Canada, the ceremonial head of state. The country is a Commonwealth
    realm and is officially bilingual (English and French) in the federal jurisdiction. It is very highly ranked in
    international measurements of government transparency, quality of life, economic competitiveness,
    innovation, education and human rights. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural
    nations, the product of large-scale immigration. Canada's long and complex relationship with the United
    States has had a significant impact on its history, economy, and culture.

    A developed country, Canada has a high nominal per capita income globally and its advanced economy
    ranks among the largest in the world, relying chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-
    developed international trade networks. Recognized as a middle power, Canada's strong support for
    multilateralism and internationalism has been closely related to its foreign relations policies of
    peacekeeping and aid for developing countries. Canada is part of multiple international organizations
    and forums.
