Which country has the most natural lakes?

Canada is home to an estimated 2 million lakes, more than all other countries in the world combined, accounting for roughly 60% of all natural lakes on Earth. This extraordinary abundance is a legacy of the last ice age: retreating glaciers carved out basins and left behind meltwater. Canada contains approximately 20% of the world's total fresh water and 7% of the world's renewable water supply. The largest lake entirely within Canada is Great Bear Lake (31,153 sq km), and Canada shares the Great Lakes with the US. Finland — the "Land of a Thousand Lakes" — is second on a per-area basis with 187,888 lakes (one for every 26 people), earning it the nickname despite having far fewer total lakes than Canada.
