Canada

The World’s second biggest country, Canada, has an endless variety of landscapes. Spiky mountains, glinting glaciers, spectral rainforests, wheat-waving prairies – they’re all here, spread across six time zones. Rarely do you hear people sigh over Canadian food the way they do, say, over Italian or French fare. Canada is one of the world's highly developed countries with a diversified economy that is reliant upon its abundant natural resources and upon trade - particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship. With gazing upon its ice capped mountain peaks, or looking with awe at its modern architecture revolutionized by its artists, Canada has the most plush, posh, advanced and yet very realistic infrastructure and architecture. God must have added to its architectural reserves by offering coral Blue Island beaches and long hours of blue snow stretching over its land, being an enviable site.
