Canada:
10 provinces and 3 territories

Out west we have a love hate relationship with Ontario and Quebec. Also seems like the have not provinces want a piece of our pie, we are rich with oil and the tar sands:

Snip:
en.wikipedia.org

Canada is the largest supplier of oil to the U.S. [1], with over a million barrels per day coming from tar sands.

Most of the tar sands of Canada are located in three major deposits in northern Alberta. The three deposits are the Athabasca-Wabiskaw oil sands of north northeastern Alberta, the Cold Lake deposits of east northeastern Alberta, and the Peace River deposits of northwestern Alberta. Between them they cover over 140,000 square kilometers (54,000 square miles), an area larger than Florida, and hold at least 175 billion barrels (175×109 bbl) or 28 billion cubic metres (28×109 m³) of recoverable crude bitumen, which amounts to three-quarters of North American petroleum reserves.


Watch the video its a hoot.

And yes, we have LOTS of fresh water here. I would not move for all the tea in China.
