Countries of the United Kingdom is a term used for England,air max pas cher, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales,air max pas cher, which together form the sovereign state of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. They are also described as "constituent countries",air max pas cher, "countries within a country"[1] and "nations". English, Northern Irish,air max pas cher, Scottish and Welsh nationals are all British citizens without distinction. Citizens of Northern Ireland are also entitled to Irish citizenship through the Republic of Ireland, and can hold a dual citizenship with Britain,air max pas cher, retain the option of Irish citizenship, or have the entitlement to either citizenship removed by request.[2]
The Parliament of the United Kingdom and Her Majesty's Government deal with all reserved matters for Northern Ireland and Scotland and all non-transferred matters for Wales, but not in general on matters that have been devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly, Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly. England remains the full responsibility of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which is centralised in London. As the sovereign state, the United Kingdom is recognised as the representative country under international law, and thus England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are not themselves listed on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) list of countries.
The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are British Islands,air max pas cher, but are not under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland is a separate country and sovereign state, and although part of the geographical 'British Isles',air max pas cher, is not a part of the British Islands or the UK.
Identity within the UK
Many citizens of the United Kingdom cite "Britain",air max pas cher, "United Kingdom" and "British" as their country and nationality, while others identify specifically with England, Northern Ireland,air max pas cher, Scotland or Wales.[3] Others identify primarily with their constituent country,air max pas cher, but hold a sense of 'Britishness' in equal or high esteem. People from a mixed background sometimes ally with more than one of the constituent countries. The propensity for nationalistic feeling varies greatly across the UK, and can rise and fall over time.[4] Generally the UK countries are considered to be a close union, with shared values, language, currency and culture,air max pas cher, and with people moving and working freely throughout.[5] Since the significant broadening of autonomous governance throughout the UK in the late 1990s,air max pas cher, debate has taken place across the United Kingdom on the relative value of full independence.[6]
UK terminology
Various terms have been used to describe England,air max pas cher, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. This fact is illustrated by the following two tables.
Legal terminology
There is no term in UK law for England, Northern Ireland,air max pas cher, Scotland and Wales as a group of individual parts; each one was a complete incorporating union. Nevertheless, for various purposes they do refer to the areas of the former states. These are listed below:
Terminology in the Acts of Union
The Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542 annexed the legal system of Wales to England[7] to create the single entity commonly known today as England and Wales. Wales was described as the "Country,air max pas cher, Principality and Dominion", "Dominion of Wales"[7] or the "Dominion,air max pas cher, Principality and Country" or "Dominion and Principality" of Wales[8]. Outside of Wales, England was not given a specific name or term.
The Acts of Union 1707 refer to both England and Scotland as a "Part of the united Kingdom"[9]
The Acts of Union 1800 use "Part" in the same way. They also use "Country" to describe Great Britain and Ireland respectively, when describing trade between them[10]
The Government of Ireland Act 1920 does not use any term or description to classify Northern Ireland nor indeed Great Britain.
Current Legal Terminology
The Interpretation Act 1978 provides some definitions for terms relating the countries of the United Kingdom. Use of these terms in other legislation is interpreted following the definitions in the 1978 Act. The definitions are listed below
"England" means,air max pas cher, subject to any alteration of boundaries under Part IV of the Local Government Act 1972, the area consisting of the counties established by section 1 of that Act,air max pas cher, Greater London and the Isles of Scilly." This definition applies from 1 April 1974.
"United Kingdom" means "Great Britain and Northern Ireland." This definition applies from 12 April 1927,air max pas cher.
"Wales" means the combined area of the 12 original administrative counties (with the addition of Monmouthshire) re-formulated into 8 new counties under section 20 of the Local Government Act 1972,air max pas cher, as originally enacted,air max pas cher, but subject to any alteration made under section 73 of that Act (consequential alteration of boundary following alteration of watercourse).". Even in the Scotland Act 1998 there is no delineation of the country, with the definition in section 126 simply providing that Scotland includes "so much of the internal waters and territorial sea of the United Kingdom as are adjacent to Scotland". See also Scottish Adjacent Waters Boundaries Order 1999 and Anglo-Scottish border.
