Canada

Canada is the world's second-largest country and one of its emptiest: most of its land is Arctic rock, tundra and boreal forest, so 90% of Canadians live within ~160 km of the US border. Its geography makes it a resource giant bound tightly to the American economy and shielded, like the US, by ocean and ice.
