The uk
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated on the British Isles. The British Isles consist of two large islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and about five thousand small islands. Their total area is over 240.000 km2. They are washed by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea and the Irish Sea. Great Britain is separated from the continent by the English Channel. The narrowest part of it is called the Strait of Dover.
It includes four magnificent countries: Scotland, Wales, England and Ireland. So the UK is really diverse and involves the features of its unique parts and their nationalities. Each country is charming on its own. Scotland is famous for its whiskey, kilts and amazing highlands. Ireland fascinates with its music, dances and Irish beer. England attracts people by its sights, phone boxes, red buses and such a special atmosphere. Wales is popular with its Castles and fortresses. The capital of the UK is London.
The surface of the British Isles varies very much. There’re no high mountains, long rivers, or vast forest areas here.
The highest peak is Ben Nevis of 4,406 feet high, which is located in Scotland. The second highest mountain is Snowdon in Wales.
There are a lot of rivers in GB, but they are short and of no great importance. The Severn is the longest river. The Thames is the deepest and busiest river in the state. Most of them flow into the North Sea.
The mountains, the Atlantic Ocean and the warm waters of Gulf Stream influence the climate of the British Isles. The weather in GB is very changeable. The English also say that they have three variants of weather: when it rains in the morning, when it rains in the afternoon or when it rains all day long. So the weather is the favorite conversational topic in the UK.
The population of the UK is over 63,1 (1,343 m) million people. It’s a multicultural country where there are a lot of immigrants from former British Asian and African colonies.
The UK is a highly industrialized country. The main industrial centers are London, the capital of the country, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow and Bristol.
The UK is a parliamentary monarchy. The head of the state is Queen Elizabeth II but her power is not absolute. The Prime Minister is the head of the government. The current Prime Minister, Theresa Mary May, is the second female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the leader of the Conservative Party.
