abstract
| - The Federal Republic of Canada (French: Republique Federal du Canada) is a parliamentary democracy, organized as a federal republic consisting of sixteen provinces and a federal district. Prior to 1991, it was a quasi-independent Republic of the British Union, although after 1945 it operated with almost complete political autonomy within the British Commonwealth, albeit with considerable influence and pressure from London. In 1991, with the collapse of the British Empire, Canada formally withdrew from the Commonwealth and declared itself an independent republic. In 1995, the province of Quebec formally seceded from Canada to form the Republic of Quebec. Quebec's secession led to the 1996 Constitutional Reforms which devolved further authority to the provinces and territories, thus effectively federalizing the country. Canada is the largest nation by total landmass in the world, only 200 sq mi larger than the Russian Federation. Its largest city is Toronto, and its capital is Ottawa. Since emerging from a recession in the late 1990's, it has been the world's second-fastest growing economy and as of 2011 is the eighth-largest economy in the world.
