Three facts
Country
Canada's coastline, about 243,000 km with its islands, is the world's longest, more than four times that of the runner-up.
Capital: Ottawa
In winter, Ottawa's Rideau Canal freezes into a 7.8 km skating rink that Guinness lists as the world's largest natural ice rink.
Flag
Canada's maple leaf has 11 points, not for any meaning, but because that shape stayed clearest in wind-tunnel tests.
