Background stats: Canada vs Ethiopia

  Canadian Background stats

  Ethiopian Background stats

Background Canada is the 2nd largest nation with the world, with a surface area of almost 10 million sq km. It has just one neighbour, the US, which it borders on two fronts, the south (6,418km) and the the US state of Alaska in the west (2,477km). Its total of 8,893km is the longest land border between two nations in the world. Despite its size, it has a most population of just 34 million, 2.5 million of which live in the largest city Toronto. Its capital city, Ottawa, has just over 800,000 inhabitants. Unlike other African nations, Ethiopia's monarchy managed to keep European colonialists at bay, except for a brief period just before World War II when the Italian occupied the country, then known internationally as Abyssinia. Located on the north eastern side of the African Continent, Ethiopia is completely landlocked - only just. Neighbours Eritrea (912km), Djibouti (349km) and Somalia (1,600km) stand between it and the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, to the north east, and the Indian Ocean to the east. Also sharing its borders are Sudan (1,606km) to the west, and Kenya (861km) to the south. With a population of 90.8 million, Ethiopia is the most populous landlocked country in the world.
