                                 Great Britain
      The official name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland. It occupies the territory of the British Isles.
The British Isles consist of two large islands: Great Britain and Ireland and
about five thousand small islands. The total area is over 244 000 square
kilometres.
      The United Kingdom is made up of four countries: England, Wales,
Scotland and Northern Ireland. Their capitals are: London, Cardiff,
Edinburgh and Belfast respectively. The population of the country is over 57
million people; about 80 % of them live in cities and towns.
      Great Britain is separated from the European continent by the English
Channel and the Strait of Dover. The west coast of the country is washed by
the Irish Sea, the east coast is washed by the North Sea. There are a lot of
rivers in Great Britain, but they are not very long and not good for
navigation. The chief rivers are the Severn and the Thames.
      The climate in the United Kingdom is generally mild and temperate
due to the influence of the Gulf Stream. It is mild, humid and changeable. It
is never too hot or too cold. Great Britain is well known as a foggy and rainy
country.
