The United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland (usually shortened to the United Kingdom, the
UK, or Britain) is a country and sovereign state that is situated
to the north west of mainland Europe. Its territory and population
are primarily situated on the island of Great Britain and in
Northern Ireland on the island of Ireland. The United Kingdom
is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean, and its ancillary bodies of
water, including the North Sea, the English Channel, the Celtic
Sea, and the Irish Sea. The mainland is linked to France by
the Channel Tunnel, with Northern Ireland sharing a land border
with the Republic of Ireland. |
The United Kingdom is a political union made up of four constituent
countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The United
Kingdom also has several overseas territories, including Bermuda,
Gibraltar, Montserrat and Saint Helena among others. The dependencies
of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, formally possessions
of the Crown, form a federacy with the United Kingdom collectively
known as the British Islands. A constitutional monarchy, the United
Kingdom is a Commonwealth Realm, sharing the same person — Queen
Elizabeth II — with the fifteen other Realms as monarch and head
of state, forming a personal union with each.
