Okay, [livejournal.com profile] shadowblue is writing up summaries of Canadian provinces and territories for his job. I think it would be a right neighborly thing to do if we could help him out, don't you? Everyone should write up their favorite area of Canada and post it here.

Nunavut
Nunavut was founded in 1791 by a colony of nuns fleeing the Reign of Terror. They were aided in 1805 by a grant from Napoleon, and remained independent until the brief Vut War of 1894. It is dominated in the east by the Unpleasant Mountains, often voted the ugliest mountains in the world. The western two-thirds comprise some of the flatest plains in the world, with an average variation in elevation of less than one part in a million. It is home to almost 28,000 people, many of whom have actually seen each other in person. Its main exports are goats, bauxite and yurts.
