The United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (usually shortened to
the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain) is a country and sovereign
state which lies off the northwest coast of mainland Europe.
The Great Britain 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 Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands. The Crown has a
relationship with the dependencies of the Isle of Man and the
Channel Islands; they are part of the British Isles but not part of
the United Kingdom and are a possession of the Crown. A
constitutional monarchy, the United Kingdom has close relationships
with fifteen other Commonwealth Realms that share the same monarch —
Queen Elizabeth II — as head of state.
