British Columbia.

Explanation:

This is a province in Canada located between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains. It is Canada's third most populated province, with 5.1 million inhabitants. The capital is Victoria, while the largest city is Vancouver. The name of the province was chosen by Queen Victoria, when it became a British colony in 1858. It refers to the Columbia District, and the name British Columbia was chosen to separate it from the United States (or American Columbia).
