What is the difference between the United Kingdom and Great Britain?
The United Kingdom is made up of the countries of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Its full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain, on the other hand, comprises only England, Scotland and Wales. It is the largest island of the British Isles. Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic form the second largest island.

The Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are not part of the United King-
dom.
They are largely self-governing with their own legislative assemblies and systems of law. The British Government is, however, responsible for their defense and international relations.
The country is situated off the northwest coast of Europe between the Atlantic Ocean on the north and the northwest and the North Sea on the east. It is separated from the Continent by the English Channel, 21 miles (about 32 km) at its narrowest point, and the Strait of Dover.

The United Kingdom has an area of 94, 249 squire miles. The population of the UK is about 60 million people. The capital of the country is London.

The climate of Great Britain is mild. It is never too hot in summer or too cold in winter. It often rains in England.
The surface of England and Ireland is flat, but Scotland and Wales are mountainous. The highest mountain top is Ben Nevis in Scotland.

The chief rivers are the Thames, the Severn, the Clyde, the Trent and the Mersey. The longest river is the Severn (see a presentation file).
The UK is one of the world’s most industrialized countries. Metallurgy, chiefly iron and steel, is vital to other key industries, such as shipbuilding, mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, electrical engineering and electronics. The country is the fourth largest exporter of manufactured goods. The United Kingdom has few mineral resources, of which the most important are coal and oil. Other minerals are clays, shale, chalk, iron ore, lead, zink, etc.

The main industrial centers are Sheffield, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Cardiff. Though the UK is an industrialized country, agriculture remains a major sector of economy (see a presentation file).
The United Kingdom is a parliamentary monarchy. British Parliament consists of two Houses: the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The Prime Minister is the head of the Government.
7
The main political parties are: The Labour Party, the Conservative Party, the Liberal Party (united with the Social Democratic Party in an alliance). There are many universities, colleges, libraries, museums and theatres in the country.
