Canada is a country with a rich natural beauty. Economically and technologically, it resembles its neighbor, the United States and shares with the United States the longest undefended border in the world.
In 1867, Canada became a self-governing dominion by an act of British parliament, and is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.
Though a medium sized country by its population, Canada has earned respect on the international stage for its strong diplomatic skills.
Internally, the country succeeds instead in negotiating compromises amongst a culturally and linguistically varied population.
In Canada's different regions, you will find as many differences as similarities. Language, culture, cuisine and even history vary quite a bit over the country. Rather than the United States melting pot, Canada prefers to consider itself a mosaic of cultures and people.
Canada's relationship to the UK has been mostly positive, but it is not a colony, and has not been so since 1867. Like Australians, South Africans, and New Zealanders, Canadians have developed a separate culture based on their location and history - not merely an outpost of the former British Empire.
