The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the UK) occupies a
territory of the British Isles (5,500 islands) with the total area of 244,100 sq. km. The
UK is situated off the north-western coast of Europe between the Atlantic Ocean and
the North Sea. It is separated from the continent by the English Channel and the Strait
of Dover. The UK is also washed by the Irish Sea, the St George's Channel and the North
Channel. Surrounding the British Isles by the water has been an important protection
against the invaders throughout the English history. And certainly, it influences the
climate of the country. The UK consists of four parts and every part has its national
emblem: England — the red rose, Scotland — the thistle, Wales p the daffodil and
the leek, Northern Ireland — the shamrock. The capitals of the four parts are London,
Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Belfast respectively.
One can't describe the country without mentioning its surface. The island of Great
Britain can be divided into two main regions: Lowland Britain and Highland Britain.
Lowlands comprise southern and eastern England. Highlands include Scotland, Wales,
the Pennines, the Lake District, and the southern peninsula of Britain. Many rivers are
flowing through Great Britain, such as the longest Severn with its tributaries, the
swiftest Spey, the busiest Thames, etc. All parts of Great Britain are worth seeing.
The population of the UK is over 57 million people. The official language is
English, but some people continue speaking their mother tongue: Scottish in
Western Scotland, Welsh in northern and central Wales, and Irish in Northern
Ireland.
Тhе flag of the UK is made up of three crosses of the patron saints: the upright
red against a white background — St George of England, the white diagonal against
a blue background — St Andrew of Scotland, the red diagonal against a white
background - St Patrick of Northern Ireland. The English people have the habit of naming
their national flag "the Union Jack".
The UK is a constitutional monarchy. The head of the state is the Queen who
reigns with the support of Parliament.
For a long time the UK has succeeded in remaining one of the important
commercial centres of the world. Nowadays the UK doesn't depend upon economics
and industrial manufacturing of other countries.
