The United Kingdom is a political union made up of four constituent countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom also has several overseas territories, including Bermuda, Gibraltar, Montserrat and Saint Helena among others. The dependencies of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, formally possessions of the Crown, form a federacy with the United Kingdom collectively known as the British Islands. A constitutional monarchy, the United Kingdom is a Commonwealth Realm, sharing the same person — Queen Elizabeth II — with the fifteen other Realms as monarch and head of state, forming a personal union with each.

Answer 4

Coming from NI myself, i feel very strongly about this and other related GENERAL knowledge. It is true what others have already answered with, it is 1 country of 4 main constituents....But to clarify one point, and we can all check this for ourselves on our passports, GB is England,Scotland and Wales. NI, together with the minor areas (IOW etc), this is the United Kingdom. So go ahead, look at your UK passport - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is disgusting how many people do not know that NI is part of the United Kingdom. Listen here 'cool dude' IRELAND has nothing to do with the UK it is a foreign country. And as for you 'my brainhurt' these 3 'parasites' have been clinging to an asshole for too long now.

Answer 5

The United Kingdom is ONE country - the United Kingdom!
The UK is made up of four constituent countries, which are England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Note that Northern Ireland is NOT part of Great Britain however, since Great Britain is the geographical name for the largest island of the British Isles. The terms 'United Kingdom' and 'Great Britain' have two entirely different definitions.

Answer 6

England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. There are other areas around the world that are British Territory, such as Gibraltar and the Falklands, but the are not classed as being part of the UK.

Answer 7

"3. scotland, wales and england. northern ireland is a part of great britain with the other 3 mentioned so there is a difference."

Northern Ireland is NOT part of Great Britain, but they ARE part of the United Kingdom.

As for the question you could argue almost any number:

2: The kingdom of Great Britain and of Northern Ireland

3: England(+Wales which does not have its own government i belive), Scotland and Northern Ireland.

4: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland

Answer 8

England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - that makes 4. I suspect you meant counties, in which case I don't know, I left before the re-distribution in 1974.

Answer 9

There are 2 kingdoms (England, Scotland) a principality (Wales) and a province (Northern Ireland)

Strictly speaking, together they make up 1 country

Answer 10

I always thought there were 4 - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Answer 11

4. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. There are a few minor dependencies as well.
