For today's post, I will be posting about a famous country named Canada (as you know from the title and flag). Most of you know know that Canada is located in North America, above the United States of America. Last post, I had posted about Laos, which is a country located in Asia.

Canada is in North America, right? North America and South America's land is together, named is called Americas, which is a supercontinent. There are two supercontinents Afro-Eurasia, which has a population of 6.1 billion in 2013 and the Americas which has a population of 1.002 billion in 2016. That's amazing, right?
