Canada
Related: About this forumSo, I thought "It's been a long time since I looked a map of Canada"
While I wasn't paying attention Nunavut (sp?) had emerged.
Well THAT -IS- embarrassing. Really. I meant no harm...
The largest part of Canada and I didn't know it's name had changed on the map.
So, I know from US history, that places like "The Northwest Territories" got subdivided several times and ended up being divided several times and ultimately into the states of the "Upper Midwest".
I am left feeling that I really must look at a map of Canada more than once every 20 years.
