In which country is this city located?

Canberra
Canberra is the capital city of Australia. Its population is a little over 330,000. It attracts tourists for unique landscapes, natural and historical monuments, animal world, and the culture of the aboriginal peoples.
In 1908 debates rose about the city to become the Australian capital. The choice had to be made between two largest cities: Sydney and Melbourne. However, it wasn't an easy task to make a choice. As a compromise it was decided to build the third city. This city was named Canberra which in the language of Australia's local people means "meeting place". It was officially established on March 12, 1913. Nowadays Canberrans celebrate the birthday of their city on the third Monday in March.
Canberra is situated in the province of New South Wales, one hundred and fifty kilometers from the east coast and three hundred kilometers away from Sydney, the largest Australian city. Canberra is a planned city built after the design of the famous Chicago architect Walter Burley Griffin. Griffin's design was chosen after an international competition for the design of the city was launched, and over a hundred designs were reviewed. The original plan included lots of green spaces, cathedrals, squares, roads, long avenues, and a lake, which was formed in the center of the city by the Molonglo River. In the middle of the lake there is a fountain pushing the water to the height of nearly seventy meters!
The city consists of seven districts as well as of many smaller suburbs. By the way, the main transport highways go around the city and form so called "circles" which make the traffic easier. For its significant areas of natural vegetation Canberra is sometimes called "the Bush City". The trees and plants were brought to Canberra from different countries of the world: there are Russian birches and bird cherry, Canadian pines and Japanese cherry.

CANADA
Canada is the second largest country in the world. About 28 million people live in Canada. Canada is a federation of 10 provinces and 2 territories. Canada is an independent nation.
Canada's people are varied. About 57 % of all Canadians have some English ancestry and about 32 % have some French ancestry. Both English and French are official languages of the country. English is spoken by 60% of population; French is spoken by 23 % of people. French Canadians, most of whom live in the provinces of Quebec, have kept the language and customs of their ancestors. Other large ethnic groups are German, Irish and Scottish people. Native people - American Indians and Eskimos - make up about 2 % of the country's population. 77 % of Canada's people live in cities or towns. Toronto and Montreal are the largest urban areas.
During the 1970s and 1980s the proportion of Asians among the Canadian population increased, and today those who count their ancestry as wholly Asian make up 8 to 10 percent of the population. More than two-thirds of the Asian immigrants live in Ontario or British Columbia. The remainder of the population is composed of people of various ethnic groups, such as German, Italian, Ukrainian, Netherlands Dutch, Scandinavian, Polish, Hungarian, Greek, and Native American. Blacks have never constituted a major segment of the Canadian population. Indigenous people make up nearly 2 percent of Canada's inhabitants.
Today, maintaining a sense of community is one of the major problems in Canada because of differences among the provinces and territories. Many Canadians in western and eastern parts of the country feel that the federal government does not pay enough attention to their problems. 80 % of Quebec's population are French Canadians. Many of them believe that their province should receive a special recognition in the Canadian constitution.
