England is the largest and most populous constituent country
of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Its
inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total population
of the United Kingdom, whilst the mainland territory of England
occupies most of the southern two-thirds of the island of Great
Britain and shares land borders with Scotland to the north and
Wales to the west. Elsewhere, it is bordered by the North Sea,
Irish Sea, Atlantic Ocean, and English Channel.
England was formed as a country during the 10th century and takes
its name from the Angles — one of a number of Germanic tribes
who settled in the territory during the 5th and 6th centuries.
The capital city of England is London, which is the largest city
in the British Isles, capital of the United Kingdom and one of
the world's Global Cities.
England ranks as one of the most influential and far-reaching
centres of cultural development in the world; it is the place
of origin of both the English language and the Church of England,
was the historic centre of the British Empire, and the birthplace
of the Industrial Revolution.
The Kingdom of England was an independent state until 1 May 1707,
when the Acts of Union resulted in a political union with the
Kingdom of Scotland to create the Kingdom of Great Britain.
England's National Day is St George's Day (Saint George being
the patron saint), which is celebrated annually on April 23 by
the people of England.
