United Kingdom

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK) or Britain, is a sovereign state in the European Union. Lying off the north-western coast of the European mainland, it includes the island of "Great Britain" (a term also applied loosely to refer to the whole country), the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and many smaller islands.Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that shares a land border with another state—the Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border, the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea to its east, the English Channel to its south and the Celtic Sea to its south-southwest. The Irish Sea lies between Great Britain and Ireland. With an area of 93,800 square miles (243,000 km2), the UK is the 80th-largest sovereign state in the world and the 11th-largest in Europe. It is also is the 21st-most populous country, with an estimated 64.5 million inhabitants.

The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance. Its capital city is London, an important global city and financial centre with an urban population of 10,310,000, the fourth-largest in Europe and second-largest in the European Union. The current monarch—since 6 February 1952—is Queen Elizabeth II. The UK consists of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The latter three have devolved administrations, each with varying powers, based in their capitals, Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Belfast, respectively. The nearby Isle of Man, Bailiwick of Guernsey and Bailiwick of Jersey are not part of the United Kingdom, being Crown dependencies with the British Government responsible for defence and international representation.

  • United Kingdom Census 2011

    A census of the population of the United Kingdom is taken every ten years. The 2011 census was held in all countries of the UK on 27 March 2011. It was the first UK census which could be completed online via the Internet. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is responsible for the census in England and Wales, the General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) is responsible for the census in Scotland, and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) is responsible for the census in Northern Ireland.

    The Office for National Statistics is the executive office of the UK Statistics Authority, a non-ministerial department formed in 2008 and which reports directly to Parliament. ONS is the UK Government's single largest statistical producer of independent statistics on the UK's economy and society, used to assist the planning and allocation of resources, policy-making and decision-making. ONS designs, manages and runs the census in England and Wales. In its capacity as the national statistics office for the United Kingdom, ONS also compiles and releases census tables for the United Kingdom when the data from England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are complete.

  • United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

    The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was established on 1 January 1801 under the terms of the Acts of Union 1800, by which the nominally separate kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland were united. In 1922, twenty-six of thirty-two counties of Ireland seceded to form the Irish Free State (later becoming the Republic of Ireland) and, to reflect the change in the United Kingdom's boundaries, the Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927 formally amended the name of the UK Parliament to the "Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

    The period began with the newly formed United Kingdom defeating the French Empire in 1814 in the Napoleonic Wars. As a direct result of this, the British Empire became the foremost world power for the next century. Great Britain and the northeast of Ireland industrialised rapidly, whereas the rest of Ireland did not, deepening economic and social disparities between them. A devastating famine, exacerbated by government inaction in the mid-19th century, led to demographic collapse in much of Ireland, and increased calls for Irish land reform and the devolution of executive power. During and after the Great War, the rise of Irish nationalism and physical force republicanism eventually culminated in the Irish War of Independence, and in 1922 the partition of Ireland between the newly founded Irish Free State and the northeast, which opted to remain part of the United Kingdom as Northern Ireland.

    There's a gang I've just joined
    There's a gang I've just joined
    Three million strong you'd agree
    Four million strong you'd agree
    Enrollment was easy, so easy
    Getting out proves to be the difficulty
    From land's end to john o'groats
    From land's end to john o'groats
    They are making ends meet
    Mending holes in their coat
    Fasting and feasting on bread and margarine
    Burning dreams build upon buried hopes
    United kingdom - you'd better ring them
    You've a solution - you better bring them
    United kingdom - united kingdom
    You've a solution - you better bring them
    Opportunity, I guess they all came and went
    Finding it hard
    Finding the rent you'll find it funny
    With your finger running down
    Situations vacant
    In school he was an athlete
    Now he's not so self-assured
    "after all of these o-levels is this my reward? "
    There's a silent majority, that's seen and
    Never heard from charles i, charles ii
    To charles iii
    United kingdom - you'd better ring them
    You've a solution - you better bring them
    United kingdom - united kingdom
    This busted, rusted, upper-crusted
    Bankrupted done and dusted
    No-man-to-be-trusted united kingdom
    Proud to stand beneath the union jack?
    Happy dealing up a no ace pack?
    Polishing black boots
    Priming the riot squad
    There go I but for the grace of god
    Covering up the agony with mindless entertainment
    You'll be happy when they're ripping up the pavement
    Bringing down the axe on steelworks and foundries
    Someone said love knows no boundaries
    Close your eyes and think of england
    Lie back and think of her
    United kingdom - you better ring them
