Nault, Publisher, The World Book Encyclopedia (NC) -- Canada is the world's sec- ond largest country. Only Russia has more land area. Canada is slightly larger than the United States, but has only about a tenth as many people. About 25-1/2 million people live in Canada, with ap- proximately 80 per cent residing within 200 miles (320 km) of the southern border. With the exception of the populated belt in the south, most of Canada is uninhabited be- cause of its rugged terrain and se- vere climate. Canada is a land of great variety. According to World Book, more than three-quarters of Canada's people live in cities or towns. Mon- treal and Toronto are the two lar- gest cities. They are the centres of two large metropolitan areas, each of which has a population of about 3 million. These large population centres are contrasted by mountains, lakes, and lush green forests in the far west, wheat fields in the prairies, and villages and sandy beaches in the east.
