Notes:
- ^ The largest city is the city in a state with the largest population in the city proper (as opposed to metropolitan area).
- ^ Each state is entitled to at least one representative. Current federal law sets the number of voting members of the House of Representatives at 435, which are apportioned among states every ten years according to their relative population.[1] Each state is also entitled to two senators, and a number of electors equal to the number of senators and representatives they've been granted.[2]
- ^ The original 13 states became sovereign in July 1776 upon agreeing to the United States Declaration of Independence, and each joined the first Union of states between 1777 and 1781, upon ratifying the Articles of Confederation.[4] These states are presented in the order in which each ratified the 1787 Constitution, thus joining the present federal Union of states. Subsequent states are listed in the order of their admission to the Union, and the date given is the official establishment date set by Act of Congress. For further details, see List of U.S. states by date of admission to the Union
- ^ Estimated as of Q1 2048.Cite error: A

Notes:
- ^ As of Q1 2048.[8]
- ^ a b c d e f All provinces formed from the partition of the Northwest Territories grant limited constitutional status to languages named in the Official Languages Act of the Northwest Territories.
- ^ a b c d e f g De facto; French has limited constitutional status.
- ^ Kanien:keh does not have a formal provincial capital; provincial governance is managed by local governments and the government of Ontario.
- ^ Although Manitoba has above average constitutional protections for the French language, it is not an official language.
- ^ Section Sixteen of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
- ^ Nova Scotia dissolved cities in 1996 in favour of regional municipalities; its largest regional municipality is therefore substituted.
- ^ Nova Scotia has very few bilingual statutes (three in English and French; one in English and Polish); some Government bodies have legislated names in both English and French.
- ^ Hopedale is the legislative center of the province, while Nain is the administrative center.
- ^ 22 January, 2005 represents the signing of the Labrador Inuit Lands Claims Agreement with Newfoundland and Labrador. While Nunatsiavut would not ascend to full provincial status until 1 October, 2035, the date of signing is considered the date the Nunatsavut entered confederation by the provincial and federal governments.
- ^ Ottawa, the national capital of Canada, is located in Ontario, near the international border with Québec. The National Capital Region formerly straddled the border, but is now located entirely within Ontario.
