Britain is an island off the north west coast of Europe. England is a country contained within that island, making up the southern two thirds of it. The northren third is Scotland. In 1707, they united their governments to form the UK. In 1800, Ireland, another island to the west was added to the United kingdom. In 1922, the greater part of Ireland became an independent republic but the six northernmost countries remained as part of the UK.\n\nLook, basically just ignore that cut and paste job above. There are not nine regions in Scotland. They were abolsihed in the 90s. There are 32 local authority areas on the mainland and island authorities in Orkney, Shetland and the western isles.\n\nThe Channel Islands are not part of the island of Britain, nor are they part of the UK and they never have been. Like the Isle of Man, which lies between Britain and Ireland, they are independent, self governing Crown possesions. They belong to the Queen, they are not represented in the UK Parliament and they are not members of the European Union.

All dialects of English are real English.\nIt's true that the accents are different.\nThe main difference between American and British dialects is the way they pronounce vowels.

Actually, a lot of people say 'England' when they mean the United Kingdom.   England is just one of four constituent countries that make up the United Kingdom (Britian).  The other three are Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.  \n\nSo if you want a flag description for England it is just a white flag with a red cross.   \n\nThe flag for the United Kingdom is the Union Jack.

England for a start. We use feet, inches, pounds, miles and stone, we're rather resistant to the metric system. America uses some of it I believe with things liek miles and lbs but i think slowly they're turning to metric more and more. The rest of Europe is very strictly metric, leading the way is France

England, Wales and Scotland are in Great Britain.\nWhen you add Northern Ireland to those three, you'll have "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"

Well, that's a pretty open question lol\n\nThe United Kingdom comprises of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The population is around 58 million, and the capital is London.\n\nThe inhabitants are more likely to identify as coming from their constituent countries, and England is the dominant country in the union. Despite this, England is the only member not to have it's own democratic process, and all English law is made by the Houses of Parliament along with law for the whole union.\n\nIt is a constitutional monarchy, currently led by Queen Elizabeth II. However, the real power rests with the democratically elected parliament with the Queen acting as a figurehead. Theoretically, all new acts of parliament still have to be approved by the queen before passing into law however, and it is the Queen who requests the leader of the political party to form "her government".\n\nOther major cities include Cardiff (capital of Wales), Edinburgh (capital of Scotland) and Belfast (capital of Northern Ireland). Within England the major cities include Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield and Liverpool.\n\nI could go on forever... I hope there are enough facts there though lol

The United Kingdom is a country that consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In fact, the official name of the country is "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."\n\nGreat Britain is the name of the island northwest of France and east of Ireland that consists of three somewhat autonomous regions: England, Wales and Scotland.\n\nTherefore, England is part of Great Britain, which is part of the United Kingdom. The U.K. includes England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are not countries but the United Kingdom is. The remaining portion of the island of Ireland (that which is not the U.K.'s Northern Ireland) is an independent country called the Republic of Ireland (Eire).
