THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN
AND NORTHERN IRELAND
The United Kingdom is situated on the British Isles. The British Isles con­sist of two large islands. Great Britain and Ireland, and a great number of small islands. Their total area is over 244,000 sq km.
The British Isles are separated from the European continent by the North Sea and the English Channel. The western coast of Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea.
Northern Ireland occupies one third of the island of Ireland. It borders on the Irish Republic in the south.
The island of Great Britain consists of three main parts: England (the south­ern and middle part of the island). Wales (a mountainous peninsula in the west) and Scotland (the northern part of the island).
There are no high mountains in Great Britain. The Highlands of Scotland are the highest of the British mountains. Ben Nevis, the tallest peak of the Highlands, is only 1,343 m high.
There is very little flat country except in the region known as East Anglia.
Most of the rivers flow into the North Sea. The Thames is one of the deep­est and the longest of the British rivers, it is over 300 km long. Some of the British greatest ports are situated in the estuaries of the Thames, Mersey. Tyne and Clyde.
Great Britain is not very rich in mineral resources, it has some deposits of coal and iron ore and vast deposits of oil and gas that were discovered in the North Sea.
The climate of Great Britain is mild. It is dependent on the Gulf-stream. So winters are not severely cold and summers are rarely hot.
The population of the United Kingdom is over 55 mln people. The main nationalities are: English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish. In Great Britain there are a lot of immigrants (black and coloured) from former British, Asian and African colonies.
Great Britain is a highly industrialized country though it is not a leading state of the West any longer. New industries have been developed lately. The main industrial centres are London. Birmingham, Manchester. Leeds. Liverpool. Glasgow and Bristol. The capital of the country is London.
Great Britain is a parliamentary monarchy.
