Canada is the second-largest country in the world, covering 9.98 million square kilometers, organized into 10 provinces and 3 territories grouped into five regions: the Atlantic provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick; Central Canada with Quebec and Ontario; the Prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta; the West Coast with British Columbia; and the North with Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. It is the only country bordering three oceans: the Atlantic to the east, the Pacific to the west, and the Arctic to the north, with 80% of the population concentrated within 200 kilometers of the border with the United States, while territories such as Nunavut, covering 2.09 million square kilometers, are larger than Mexico as a whole. In this Risk, Ontario with Toronto and Quebec with Montreal are key economic and population centers, British Columbia is a gateway to the Pacific and Asia, Alberta with its oil reserves is a strategic energy territory, and the three northern territories are vast Arctic zones requiring a major deployment. Controlling the Quebec-Ontario corridor gives you dominance over the center, the Atlantic provinces are a gateway to Europe, and whoever controls the Canadian Arctic can project power over the North Pole.
