SOME FACTS ABOUT BRITAIN

1. Many foreigners say ‘England’ and ‘English’ when they mean

‘Britain’ or the ‘United Kingdom’, and ‘British’. This is very

annoying for millions of people who live in Scotland, Wales and

Northern Ireland, and who are certainly not English. However, they

are all British. So what is the difference between the names ‘Great

Britain’ and ‘the United Kingdom’? The UK is an abbreviation of the

official name of the country: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and

Northern Ireland, which forms the major part of the British Isles.

2. Great Britain is the largest island. It consists of England (the

capital city London), Wales (Cardiff), and Scotland (Edinburgh). The

island of Ireland comprises Northern Ireland (Belfast) and the Irish

Republic (Dublin) which is an independent country.

3. The United Kingdom covers a total area of 244,104 square

kilometers. The population is about 57 million. England has a

population of 46.5 million people; nearly the same number of people

as in France which is bigger than the UK.

4. The most important area divisions in the United Kingdom are

the counties. Each county has a council which plays an important part

in the local government and administration. For example, the

responsibilities of a county council include education, police and fire

services.

5. There are many places of interest in Britain that attract your

attention. The streets of old towns and villages are often pleasing and

harmonious. Many towns preserve their old character. They are built

around cathedrals and abbeys that are evidence of the country’s rich

architectural heritage.

6. Britain is home to thousands of must-historical attractions.

Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben are in London and

others can be found in all corners of the country.
