Sulwaco (sull-WAY-ko; IPA: /səlˈweɪkoʊ/) is the westernmost province of Canada. Nested between British Columbia and Yukon Territory, the province's coastline is mountainous and dotted with thousands of islands carved by melting glacial ice from the Last Glacial Maximum. It borders Alberta to the east, Yukon to the north, Alaska to the northwest, and British Columbia to the south. Its provincial capital and largest metropolitan area is Collectings, home to 932,000 people.
Etymology
The name Sulwaco comes from the Thuneent word sʔələwáquwʔ, meaning 'places where beavers are'. It has been alternatively anglicized as Solowackoo or Sullwackow before Confederation in 1893, where its current spelling was officially designated.
