From how many cities are form USA and England?

Question

Someone asked me a strange question, How many cities are in the USA? And i want to know how many cities are in England?
What's the difference between England, and the UK? Because someone says England and some UK? Why?

We call the people from England as english, Britons, or british?
I get very confused about these questions~
Can anyone solve my question?

Answer 1

The number or cities and towns in New England named for English towns are too numerous to mention, but there is a "Manchester" in every New England State.
Our accents are different.
Our governments and monetary systems are different.
We call them English because that is what they were called at the time of the Revolution...English Red Coats.
Many Americans still consider England our mother country...I'm one of them as my ancestors all came from there post Revolution.
Well, that is my take on your question...hope it helps.

Answer 2

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, to give it its full title, is usually known simply as the United Kingdom, or just the UK. As you can see, the UK consists of (1) Great Britain, and (2) Northern Ireland (it used to be the whole of Ireland, until the Irish Republic was formed in the 20s). Great Britain consists of the island of Britain and its various surrounding smaller islands. The territory historically comprised three countries, England, Scotland and Wales. The UK has existed as a union of these countries for some 300 years. Of these four parts of the UK, England is the largest in area, and very much the largest in population, so has always been the dominant partner: London is the capital of the UK, and English is the common language of the UK (although Welsh is spoken by a significant number in Wales). So, on a random basis, most of the people you meet from the UK will be English. But people from the UK who consider themselves ethnically Scottish, Northen Irish or Welsh would be rather offended to referred to as English. British (ie from Britain) includes English, Scottish and Welsh. Briton is not much used but means someone who is British. There are 66 officially designated cities in the UK at present. Check out:

Answer 3

London is the capitol city of England, much like Washington DC is the capitol city of the United States. England does not have "states." Everything there is ruled by the Queen. England is on the Island of Great Britain and so is Scotland and Wales, and they Form the United Kingdom along with Northern Ireland (in the exact same way that the continent of North America is shared by the USA, Canada and Mexico). All of which are united under the Queen. You can add some other countries like New Zealand to countries also ruled by the Queen. Europe is a continent.

Answer 4

The UK is the entire country. Its made up of 4 constituents: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Its just like the US being the entire country and the states make it up.
People from England are English, people from Scotland are Scottish etc...but if you are from either of the 4 constituents you are British because you still live in the UK.
Hope that helps!

(And by the way keypointist VVV, do u even live in the UK cos ur completely wrong? its called Northern Ireland NOT Ulster because that includes some of Ireland, which is NOT part of the UK.
and
UK=England+Scotland+Wales+NI
Great Britain=the same as UK
Britain=Same but does not include Northern Ireland (not used much now).)

Answer 5

Ok:
Great Britain = England + Scotland + Wales
United Kingdom = England + Scotland + Wales + Ulster

Anyone who is English, Scottish or Welsh is called British
Most people in Ulster also call themselves British but there is a significant minority who prefer to be known as Irish. It's a long running political issue.

HEY KAZ:

Note for example that the Great in Great Britain refers to the time when Brittany in northern France was part of British territory. Hence Great Britain meant "the greater part of Britain" i.e not including Britanny. Great Britain does NOT include Northern Ireland.

Answer 6

The number of incorporated cities - cities that have their own charters - in the U.S. was about 6,000 in 1960, and I heard recently that it's up to 15,000 now. Obviously, more and more places keep incorporating and becoming cities.

In the U.K., there is London (which is broken up into a number of boroughs, but let's just call it one city), 11 metropolitan boroughs which are counted as cities (Manchester is one example), 10 unitary authorities that are cities (Bristol is one), and 4 unitary districts in Scotland that are cities (Edinburgh is one). That adds up to 26 cities.

The reason there's such an extreme imbalance is that the two countries govern themselves very differently. The U.S. tends to have more local autonomy.

Answer 7

can't count anymore. everytime you finish another town becomes a city. england is just part of uk and people from england are englishmen though they are also brits, like the scots, irish and w....
