Official name: Canada. Form of government: federal multiparty parliamentary state with two legislative houses (Senate [104]; House of Commons [301]). Chief of state: Queen of Canada (British Monarch). Representative of chief of state: Governor-General. Head of government: Prime Minister. Capital: Ottawa. Official languages: English; French. Official religion: none. Population (1998): 30,677,000.	Second largest country in the world in area (after Russia) but one of the most sparsely populated. The name Canada, which is the official name of the country, is spelled the same in the country's two official languages, English and French. The word Canada is a derivation of the Huron -Iroquois kanata, meaning a village or settlement. The explorer Jacques Cartier used the name Canada to refer to the area around the settlement which is now Quebec city. Later, Canada was used as a synonym for New France. The name Canada was restored after 1791, when Britain divided Quebec into the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. In 1867 the British North America Act created a confederation of colonies called the Dominion of Canada. The word Dominion fell into disuse, but the name Canada has stood the test of time.
