Demography and Geography
Location: Western Europe, consisting of Great Britain (England, Wales, and Scotland ) and Northern Ireland; islands - including the northern one-sixth of the island of Ireland - between the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea; northwest of France; the UK is also surrounded by the English Channel and the Irish Sea. England accounts for just over half of the total area of the UK, covering 130,395 square kilometers (50,350 sq mi). Most of the country consists of lowland terrain, with mountainous terrain north-west of the Tees-Exe line; Scotland accounts for just under a third of the total area of the UK, covering 78,772 square kilometers (30,410 sq mi) and including nearly eight hundred islands, predominantly west and north of the mainland; notably the Hebrides, Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands. Wales accounts for less than a tenth of the total area of the UK, covering 20,779 square kilometers (8,020 sq mi). Wales is mostly mountainous, though South Wales is less mountainous than North and mid Wales. The main population and industrial areas are in South Wales, consisting of the coastal cities of Cardiff, Swansea and Newport, and the South Wales Valleys to their north. Northern Ireland accounts for just 14,160 square kilometres (5,470 sq mi) and is mostly hilly. It includes Lough Neagh which, at 388 square kilometres (150 sq mi), is the largest lake in the British Isles by area.
Area: total: 243,610 sq km country comparison to the world: 80 land: 241,930 sq km water: 1,680 sq km note: includes Rockall and Shetland Islands.
