The rubric for demographics is measured based on a combination of per person income, language, ancestry, education, religion, and age.

  1. Manitoba and Saskatchewan are remarkably similar to Ukraine, hence the large population of Ukrainian settlers in those areas. Weird that Ukraine doesn’t make it on the list

  4. Kinda interested as to why you chose specifically “demographically” and not overall, because demographics is simply one of the 5 pillars used to determine similarity here.

  5. Yes, us kiwis see you as brothers from another mother. Not too much of a fan of your neighbours though.

  6. Is it just me or are we demographically least similar to countries that are almost all pretty unstable/in outright conflicts?

  7. The US still considered a democracy under the supreme orange leader ?

  8. So you’re calling the red countries *checks link* poor

  9. Waiting for some Canadian to chime in with how their country is actually the most culturally similar to Finland or the Netherlands or something and how they have nothing in common culturally with the US :p
