Buyuk britaniyaning davlat tuzilish - The state structure of Great Britain

Great Britain is an island in the North Atlantic Ocean off the north-west coast of continental Europe, consisting of England, Scotland and Wales. With an area of 209,331 km2 (80,823 sq mi), it is the largest of the British Isles, the largest European island and the ninth-largest island in the world. It is dominated by a maritime climate with narrow temperature differences between seasons. The island of Ireland, with an area 40 per cent that of Great Britain, is to the west—these islands, along with over 1,000 smaller surrounding islands and named substantial rocks, form the British Isles archipelago.

The term "Great Britain" can also refer to the political territory of England, Scotland and Wales, which includes their offshore islands. This territory and Northern Ireland constitute the United Kingdom. The single Kingdom of Great Britain resulted from the 1707 Acts of Union between the kingdoms of England (which at the time incorporated Wales) and Scotland.
Buyuk Britaniya — Shimoliy Atlantika okeanida, kontinental Yevropaning shimoli-gʻarbiy sohilida joylashgan, Angliya, Shotlandiya va Uelsdan iborat orol. Maydoni 209,331 km2 (80,823 sq milya) bo'lib, u Britaniya orollarining eng kattasi, Evropadagi eng katta orol va dunyodagi to'qqizinchi yirik oroldir. Fasllar orasidagi tor harorat farqlari bilan dengiz iqlimi hukmronlik qiladi. Buyuk Britaniyaning 40% maydoniga ega Irlandiya oroli g'arbiy tomonda joylashgan - bu orollar 1000 dan ortiq kichikroq atrofdagi orollar va katta toshlar bilan birga Britaniya orollari arxipelagini tashkil qiladi.
"Buyuk Britaniya" atamasi Angliya, Shotlandiya va Uelsning offshor orollarini o'z ichiga olgan siyosiy hududiga ham tegishli bo'lishi mumkin. Bu hudud va Shimoliy Irlandiya Buyuk Britaniyani tashkil qiladi. Buyuk Britaniyaning yagona Qirolligi 1707 yilda Angliya (o'sha paytda Uelsni o'z ichiga olgan) va Shotlandiya qirolliklari o'rtasidagi ittifoq to'g'risidagi aktlar natijasida yuzaga keldi.
