Canada is a relatively new country, which declared its Confederation in 1867. This makes Canada 155 years old.
Canada, much like its neighbor to the south, is one of the most economically-sound countries in the world - initially being part of the British Empire. The main difference was the succession, where the United States revolted, while the Canadian parliament was legally and peacefully recognized by the British Empire. This fundamental difference has caused a unique view of an otherwise tightly interlocked partnership between the two countries. Canada is a confederation with its own parliament but still recognizes the British Queen as the official Monarch. This makes Canada an extremely ideological country as a Federal Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy.
