The United Kingdom is an island nation in northwestern Europe consisting of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Different countries present something specific: England has historic places, Scotland hosts rather rough nature, Wales has castles, and Northern Ireland has a rather spectacular coast. However, English is the main language for all four countries. The government structure includes a constitutional monarchy for the entire United Kingdom. Rugger, going to the pub, and sarcasm are familiar themes in the countries. The UK is just a channel away from mainland Europe and a country that presents a living history, stunning landscapes, and urban industrial pace.
