## Population density

Morocco is 13 times more densely populated than Canada — 54 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 Canadian dollar and the Moroccan dirham.
- Canada spans 6 time zones, so "local time" there is not a single answer.
- Different continents — North America and Africa.

## 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.

## Morocco

Toubkal in the High Atlas is 4,167 m, the highest point in North Africa, and holds snow into early summer within sight of the desert. The Atlas ranges cut the country in two, wet Atlantic plains on one side and Sahara on the other.
