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

I have to revise my answer. I checked various websites and found many of them very outdated. I found the most reliable and current info. on www.statistics.gov.uk/popest ...and www.open.gov.uk The present population of England as of 24 Aug 2006  is 50,400,000, area is 130,281 so that translates to almost 387 persons/sq km. Hope that is what you wanted.

From what I just read it is the scottish parliament that has all the say so, any way it is a legislature body in the United Kingdom and overseas territories. Go to htt//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British Parliament, you'll find just what you want.  P.S. This is my ancestry to as far back as 1754 to the Lyon name.  Hope you find what you want to know. Good chat'in with ya!

I agree with you. But polls show that 2 out of 3 English people want England and the UK in a politically united Europe a European Union. It may be worth your while to consider supporting a withdrawal from the worst aspects of the treaty of Rome and consider closer links with the English speaking world, a English Speaking Union

You could try the websites of some news channels: sky, BBC, Fox, CNN. I'm sure there are loads in the states, but i'm from England. Wherever you are there is news, i'm sure. Hope i helped.

I think it would be good to split the union especially now since its the 300th anniversary in 2007. I dont want to start arguments about countries which would survive outside of it or which countries support others. It is a myth that England supports the neighbouring countries though. Sure; Scotland for example is given a hefty supplemet every year to look after itself but only from money the UK (NOT England - contrary to popular belief) has earned ie from oil (which is actually Scottish anyway)and tourism - which all nations in the kingdom earn. Please dont continue flaming or anything. I havent said anything to insult anyone and everything I have said is fact. btw Robespierre made the classic fault assuming Wales and Scotland were in England. They are not and never have been, I strongly suggest you don't say that when you are in one of those smaller UK nations. You may be risking your health ;)

The previous answer is correct. For more information, visit www.royal.gov.uk. This is the official website of the British Monarchy and has a wealth of information.

Because United Kingdom, as its name implies, is a unified group of nations.... Northern Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales.  Just as "Russia" is really a collection of several republics and the US is a collection of states.\nEngland is only one of these (but the most powerful).
