GREAT BRITAIN
 
The  full  name  of  the  country is the  United  Kingdom  of  Great  Britain  and  Northern  Ireland.  The United  Kingdom  is  situated  on  the  British  Isles.  The  British  Isles  consist  of  two  large  islands,  Great
Britain and Ireland, and a great number of small islands. Their total area is over 314 000 sq. km. The  British  Isles  are  separated  from  the  European  continent  by  the  North  Sea  and  the  English Channel. The western coast of Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea.  Northern Ireland occupies one third of the island of Ireland. It borders on the Irish Republic in the south.  The island of Great Britain consists of three main parts: England (the southern and middle part of the island), Wales (a mountainous peninsula in the West) and Scotland (the northern part of the island).
There  are  no  high  mountains  in  Great  Britain.  In  the  north  the  Cheviots  separate  England  from Scotland, the Pennines stretch down North England along its middle, the Cambrian Mountains occupy the greater part of Wales and the Highlands of Scotland are the tallest of the British mountains. There is very little flat country except in the region known as East Anglia.  
Most  of  the  rivers  flow  into  the  North  Sea.  The  Thames  is  the  deepest  and  the  longest  of  the British  rivers.  Some  of  the  British  greatest  ports  are  situated  in  the  estuaries  of  the  Thames,  Mersey,
Trent, Tyne and Bristol Avon.  Great Britain is not very rich in mineral resources. It has some deposits of coal and iron ore and vast deposits of oil and gas that were discovered in the North Sea. The warm currents of the Atlantic Ocean influence the climate of Great  Britain. Winters are not
severely cold and summers are rarely hot. The  population  of  the  United  Kingdom  is over  58  million  people.  The  main  nationalities  are:
English,  Welsh,  Scottish  and  Irish.  In  Great  Britain  there  are  a  lot  of  immigrants  from  former  British Asian and African colonies.
Great  Britain  is  a  highly  industrialized  country.  New  industries  have  been  developed  in  the  last three  decades.  The  main  industrial centers are  London,  Birmingham,  Manchester,  Leeds,  Liverpool, Glasgow and Bristol. The capital of the country is London. The United Kingdom is a parliamentary monarchy.
