Country Overview
Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a kingdom with the capital London. Together with the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom occupies the British Isles. England is a hill country, Wales in the west and Scotland in the north are mostly mountainous. The climate is dominated by the sea and becomes rougher towards the north. The weather changes rapidly.
The British are mostly Protestant, Northern Ireland is mostly Catholic. However, due to immigration, there is a wide variety of religions. The kingdom is more densely populated than Germany; more than fifth of the British live in the metropolitan area of London.
England has the oldest parliament in the world. There is no such thing as a written constitution. The monarch, Elizabeth II since 1952, is head of state not only in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but also in the countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. Great Britain was a member of the European Community or European Union from 1973-2020. A narrow majority of the population voted for Brexit in 2016.
Great Britain ruled numerous colonies in other parts of the world until the middle of the 20th century. Back then, London was the largest city in the world and is still an important financial and cultural metropolis today. Great Britain became the first country in the world to develop into an industrialized country. Many machines were invented there. Great Britain belongs to the circle of the largest industrial countries (Group of Seven, G 7). The chemical, aerospace, retail, banking and insurance industries are particularly important today.

Climate
The climate is distinctly oceanic. Surrounded on all sides by water, the island of Great Britain, thanks to its narrow width, facilitates the air balance between land and sea; the mild winter and cool summer climate has only slightly weaker seasonal caesuras. Warmed in winter by the North Atlantic Current (foothills of the Gulf Stream) from the southwest, in summer by the greater continental nature of southern England, Great Britain is divided into a dry, warm eastern half and a humid, temperate western half, both of which are further differentiated by their distance from the coast. Find out the altitude, latitude and exposure. The weather pattern is not regular from year to year, because stable weather conditions are not typical for the area of low pressure areas that migrate through. The high humidity, especially in winter, is the main cause of frequent fog formation; A light fog is typical, from which, however, a dense fog can develop locally under the influence of topographical location, wind exposure, soil moisture and high air pollution.
