"Canada is the second largest country in the world. It is located in North America and borders on the USA. The border between these two states is the longest in the world.
The capital city is Ottawa. Despite the amount of space, most people live close to the US border where the climate is milder.
The French and the British conquered the country and now Canada is both French and English speaking.

Relief
Canada is surrounded by the Pacific, Atlantic and Artic oceans. There are also many rivers and lakes. The main rivers are for example Mackenzie, St. Lawrence, Yukon and Columbia and some lakes are for example Lake Superior, Huron, Erie, Great Bear and others.
On the west of the territory, there are the Rocky Mountains, in the middle there are the Great Plains, which are ideal for farming.

The political system
Canada consists of 10 provinces and 3 territories.
It is a constitutional monarchy. The monarch of the UK is the official head of the state, but has little influence on Canadian politics. He or she is represented by the Governor General, whose role is also symbolic. The head of the government is the Prime minister.
The Canadian flag consists of two red stripes and white square, in which there is a red maple leaf. "
