About United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is an island country located off the northwestern coast of mainland Europe. It encompasses the entirety of the Great Britain island, which includes England, Wales, and Scotland, along with the northern part of Ireland. Occasionally, the term "Britain" is used to denote the entire United Kingdom. It has been one of the world's most important centers from history to the present. The United Kingdom is home to approximately 85% of the population, or about 55 million people, living in England. England is an island nation separated from the European continent and France by the English Channel, although it has a railway connection to Europe through the Channel Tunnel.
England, the birthplace of the English language, is governed by a parliamentary monarchy. In England, where state traditions still adhere to strict rules, the Queen and her family command great respect. Royal events such as weddings and births garner significant attention.
