## Population density

Ukraine is 15 times more densely populated than Canada — 65 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 Ukrainian hryvnia.
- Canada spans 6 time zones, so "local time" there is not a single answer.
- Different continents — North America and Europe.

## 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.

## Ukraine

The largest country entirely within Europe. About a quarter of the world's chernozem — the deep black soil that makes grain farming so productive — lies here. The Carpathians in the west reach 2,061 m, and the rest of the country is largely steppe drained by the Dnieper.
