Nunavut

Nunavut (IPA: :/ˈnʊnəvʌt/ ; French: [nynavy(t)] ; Inuktitut syllabics: ᓄᓇᕗᑦ [ˈnunavut] ), officially the Territory of Nunavut, is one of five territories of the Canadian Republic, and the third-most populous, second-largest, and largest territory on the Canadian mainland. Home to an estimated 239,000 people in December 2020, its capital and largest city is Iqaluit, which sits at the centre of a metropolitan area accounting for over half the total territorial population. Nunavut is also the most recent territory, admitted to the federation in 1999 from portions of the previously larger Northwest Territories.
