What country in Canada was recently formed?

Depending on how far back in history you're looking, I wouldn't say Canada was *recently* formed.

Should Canada really be called Canadia?

Canadia is put forward by some people as the correct name for Canada, based on the fact that its citizens are called Canadians.However, in 1867, the Federal Dominion of Canada was formed. The new country chose the spelling Canada for itself and it has been recognized as the name of the country ever since. If the country thinks its name is Canada, it almost certainly is right.Those who suggest Canadia is the correct spelling for the country are in a tiny minority.
