Side by side

Population density

Austria is 26 times more densely populated than Canada — 110 against 4 people per km². Density is where area and population interact, and it often reverses the impression the headline figures give — a large country with a small population can feel emptier than a small crowded one by an enormous margin.

Practical differences

• Different currencies: the Euro and the Canadian dollar.
• Canada spans 6 time zones, so "local time" there is not a single answer.
• Different continents — Europe and North America.

Austria

The Alps cover roughly sixty percent of the country and around forty percent of it is forest. The Eisriesenwelt near Werfen is the largest ice cave in the world, with about 42 km of passage. Grossglockner reaches 3,798 m.

Canada

The second-largest country in the world by total area, and the longest coastline of any — about 202,000 km, more than the rest of the world put together. Canada holds more lake area than every other country combined, and something over two million lakes. Its border with the United States is the longest between any two countries at 8,891 km.

Neutral facts only. Nothing here addresses politics, government, economics or which country is preferable in any respect — population is the one figure that dates, and it carries its year.
