Newfoundland and Labrador - and a beer called Dildo

Canada is big. Very big. In fact it's the second largest country in the world by total area, around seventy times larger than the UK although with a population some 30 million less.

Crowded it is not.

Canada is also named as the Most Loved Country in the World 2025 in the most recent RepTrak report (look it up for yourself) as a model nation for stability, quality of life and social justice. It has stunning landscapes, vibrant and modern cities and a people renowned for their friendliness and politeness. 

It is also home to Dildo Brewing Co. 

The Dildo Brewing Co. & Museum is based in the town of Dildo in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, one of four provinces - the others being New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island - that form Atlantic Canada, the easternmost region of the country and shortest hop between the UK and the Americas.
