Saskatchewan has an area of 251,700 square miles, a population of 985,386 and has the distinction of being the only Canadian province for which no borders correspond to physical geographic features. It is also one of only two provinces that are completely land-locked. The province's name comes from the Saskatchewan River, whose name comes from its Cree designation: kisiskaciwani-sipiy meaning "swift flowing river."
