The United Kingdom
Some people call it Britain. Others say Great Britain. Many people mistakenly call the whole
country England. But its real name is a mouthful: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland. That's why it's usually just called the United Kingdom, or UK for short.
The United Kingdom is a country made up of four parts: England, Scotland, Wales, and
Northern Ireland. For centuries, it was ruled by kings and queens. The United Kingdom is
still a monarchy, although today its power is mostly symbolic.

England is the biggest part. Each part was once ruled separately. London is the capital of the
United Kingdom. It's located in England, and it's the biggest city in Europe. More than 7
million people live there.
When you're in London, don't forget to visit Buckingham Palace. This famous palace is the
London residence of the British monarch-. Guards carefully watch over the palace grounds.
Tourists enjoy watching the changing of the guards.
The queen now, Queen Elizabeth 11, has very little power when compared with the earlier
English kings and queens. Today, an elected prime minister and Parliament hold most
government power. But Elizabeth II is popular with her people. You'll find her image on
every British stamp, banknote, and coin.
The United Kingdom is the birthplace of the English language. Today, English is spoken in
more parts of the world than any other language.
English is considered one of the world's richest languages. It has more than half a million
words! Why so many? Because many different people settled in Britain over the centuries,
and each group added their own words.
