England Country

England – birthplace of Shakespeare and The Beatles – is a country in the British Isles bordering Scotland and Wales. The capital, London, on the River Thames, is home of Parliament and the 11th-century Tower of London, but is additionally a multicultural, 21st-century hub for the arts and business in "The City." Other immensely colossal cities are Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol and the university centres of Oxford and Cambridge.

England is a country that is a component of the Coalesced Kingdom. It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. The Irish Sea lies northwest of England and the Celtic Sea lies to the southwest. England is dissevered from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south. The country covers much of the central and southern part of the island of Great Britain, which prevarications in the North Atlantic; and includes over 100 more minuscule islands such as the Isles of Scilly, and the Isle of Wight.

The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period, but takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a coalesced state in the 10th century, and since the Age of Revelation, which commenced during the 15th century, has had a consequential cultural and licit impact on the wider world. The English language, the Anglican Church, and English law – the substratum for the mundane law licit systems of many other countries around the world – developed in England, and the country's parliamentary system of regime has been widely adopted by other nations. The Industrial Revolution commenced in 18th-century England, transforming its society into the world's first industrialised nation.

England's terrain mostly comprises low hills and plains, especially in central and southern England. However, there are uplands in the north (for example, the mountainous Lake District, Pennines, and Yorkshire Dales) and in the south west (for example, Dartmoor and the Cotswolds). The capital of England is London, which is the most sizably voluminous metropolitan area in the Cumulated Kingdom and the most immensely colossal urban zone in the European Cumulation by most measures. The population of over 53 million comprises 84% of the population of the Coalesced Kingdom, largely concentrated around London, the South East, and conurbations in the Midlands, the North West, the North East and Yorkshire, which each developed as major industrial regions during the 19th century.

The Kingdom of England – which after 1284 included Wales – ceased being a separate sovereign state on 1 May 1707, when the Acts of Amalgamation put into effect the terms concurred in the Treaty of Coalescence the precedent year, resulting in a political coalescence with the Kingdom of Scotland to engender the Kingdom of Great Britain. In 1801, Great Britain was amalgamated with the Kingdom of Ireland through another Act of Cumulation to become the Amalgamated Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1922 the Irish Free State seceded from the Coalesced Kingdom, leading to the latter being renamed the Cumulated Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
