Canada
From Omnictionary
Canada is a country occupying most of northern North America, extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by total area. Canada and the U.S. share the world's longest undefended border. Canada is the US's hat. It is right next to Alaska. So if you are Looking for Alaska, Canada is a terrific place to start.
Canada is also the only country in the world to have another country's flag pictured on its currency. The Canadian two-dollar bill, which is out of print, has an American flag flying above Parliament.
The current canadian prime minister is Stephen Harper, who is acknowledged to have similar qualities of Bush and is basically a 'Bush-wannabe'. Get him out of Parliament!
