United Kingdom
About
The United Kingdom is a large European country that encompasses the island of Britain, Northern Ireland, and many other, smaller, islands. There are four non-autonomous countries in The UK, which are: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is located in North-Western Europe in The Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea to its East, and the English Channel to its South. The environment across Great Britain is mostly temperate deciduous forest with Highlands in the North of Scotland and flat plateaus across South and Central England. Agriculture is widespread across the island, with the industry making £20.2 billion in 2021 according to The British Government. Great Britain is esteemed for the inventions of the train, light bulb, steam and jet engines, telephone, and many industrial instruments, even housing the first ever factories. A cultural divide is especially apparent across England, splitting the North and South regions of the country. Throughout British history, Northern parts of the country have seen a significant abundance of factories, mines, and shipping ports, leading to lesser income employment opportunities and therefore, widespread deprivation, especially during the 70’s and 80’s. The United Kingdom has, and continues to, suffer deprivation in and around many urban areas, gang crime is also commonly accommodated within the areas facing a lack of funding. Iconic architecture styles are to be found throughout the country, Georgian, Victorian, Tudor, Edwardian, Minimalist, Gothic, and Modern styles being among the most well established. The party currently in lead in Great Britain is The Conservative Party, with Rishi Sunak serving as leader of the party and prime minister of the country. Historically, ever since the removal of the absolute monarch, The Labour Party and The Conservative Party have been the front-runners and oppositions to one another. The United Kingdom (as of 2021 World Bank numbers) has a population of 67 million people.
