Nunavut State is a constituent state of the Arctic Federation. With a recorded population of 31,906 in 2011, Nunavut is the least populous state in the Arctic Federation. It has a population the size of San Marino living in a territory the size of Saudi Arabia. It was separated officially from the Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999, via the Nunavut Act and the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act, though the boundaries had been contemplatively drawn in 1993. The creation of Nunavut resulted in the first major change to Canada's political map since the incorporation of the new province of Newfoundland and Labrador in 1949. Just ten years later, it was a part of the second, as it joined the newly independent Arctic Federation.

abstract
| - Nunavut State is a constituent state of the Arctic Federation. With a recorded population of 31,906 in 2011, Nunavut is the least populous state in the Arctic Federation. It has a population the size of San Marino living in a territory the size of Saudi Arabia. It was separated officially from the Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999, via the Nunavut Act and the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act, though the boundaries had been contemplatively drawn in 1993. The creation of Nunavut resulted in the first major change to Canada's political map since the incorporation of the new province of Newfoundland and Labrador in 1949. Just ten years later, it was a part of the second, as it joined the newly independent Arctic Federation. Nunavut State comprises a major portion of Northern Canada, and most of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Its vast territory makes it the fifth-largest country subdivision in the world, as well as the second-largest in North America after Greenland State. The capital Iqaluit (formerly "Frobisher Bay") on Baffin Island, in the east, was chosen by the 1995 capital plebiscite. Other major communities include the regional centres of Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay. Nunavut also includes Ellesmere Island to the far north, as well as the eastern and southern portions of Victoria Island in the west and Akimiski Island in James Bay to the far south. Its remoteness is reflected in that it is not connected to the rest of North America by highway.
