Canada is, geographically, the second largest country next to Russia and

shares the longest international border in the world with the United States.
Canada is governed by a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional
monarchy and keeps it ties with the United Kingdom close, being one of the
few countries with two anthems (O Canada, the national anthem, and
God Save the Queen, the Royal Anthem) with Queen Elizabeth II being
the Head of State. The country is very economically advanced with a GDP
$1.758 trillion and GDP per capita of $51,147. It has an intelligent
population with high education and literacy rates, and a large percentage of
the population is even bilingual or trilingual (English and French are the
official languages, but Spanish doesnt hurt). Canada is known for its free
health care system (on top of an 80.7 life expectancy) and poses minimal
taxes on the 34.7 million inhabitants. And of course, it is a great tourist
destination, as you can visit the world-renowned waterfall of Niagara Falls,
or the capital of Ottawa, or maybe even the historical landmarks at the
largely French-rooted city of Quebec.
