Canada and Mexico

Canada and Mexico are the two countries that border the United States. Canada, to the north, is the second-largest country in the world by area. Still, it has far fewer people than the United States, around 40 million. Most Canadians live in the south, within about 100 miles (160 kilometers) of the U.S. border, where the climate is milder. Canada has ten provinces and three territories. Its two official languages are English and French, and most French speakers live in the province of Quebec. Much of Canada sits on the Canadian Shield, a huge area of very old rock that is rich in minerals. Mexico, to the south, has about 130 million people, and Spanish is its main language. The middle of Mexico is a high plateau between two mountain ranges, the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental. Its capital, Mexico City, is one of the largest cities in the world. The border between Canada and the United States is the longest international border in the world. The three countries trade a great deal with each other under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 2020.
