So, as it turns out, Canada isn’t the (US’s) 51st state, afterall! No no no, Canada belongs to Queenie! WTF, who knew!? Heh ;)

The Queen of Canada (and head of state) has been Elizabeth II since 6 February 1952. The official style of the monarch is “By the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.”
The Monarchy Of Canada

Within Canada, Crown land is a designated territorial area belonging to the Canadian Crown. Though the monarch owns all Crown land in the country, it is divided in parallel with the “division” of the Crown among the federal and provincial jurisdictions, so that some lands within the provinces are administered by the relevant provincial Crown, whereas others are under the federal Crown. About 89% of Canada’s land area (8,886,356 km2) is Crown land: 41% is federal crown land and 48% is provincial crown land. The remaining 11% is privately owned.
