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.
