Background stats: Canada vs France

  Canadian Background stats

  French 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. One of the most influential nations in western Europe for the last few centuries, France remains a key player in the European Union. With a surface area of 551,500 sq km, it is the largest country in western Europe, while its borders are shared by Spain and Andorra to the south, Italy, Monaco, Switzerland and Germany to the east, and Luxembourg and Belgium to the north east. However, France considers many of its dominions to be part of the French Republic, which means that France also has borders with Brazil and Suriname, because of French Guiana in South America.
