This question is not as simple as it seems, and a few minutes of googling did not drop the answer in my lap. 

A comment at http://outdoors.stackexchange.com/questions/10334 suggesting that:

> True north and magnetic north are basically the same thing

started me on a search for a quality answer I could use in a response. I believe the distance between them is larger than size of many small countries, so not sure I would call them basically the same thing. 

How much distance (miles/kilometers) is there between [True North(Geographic)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Pole) and [Magnetic North](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Magnetic_Pole) Poles?
