The population of Great Britain is 62 million people. The total area of ​​Great Britain is sq. km. Elizabeth "II"

Characteristics of EGP. Great Britain is located on two large islands, separated by the waters of the Irish Sea. The UK is made up of four countries (listed above). It has a land border only with Ireland. The British Isles lie off the northwestern coast of Europe. And they are washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean (from the west) and the North Sea (from the east). Neighboring countries: France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Ireland.

Industry. Great Britain is one of the four countries that determine the economic power of Europe. UK industry includes many sectors, some of which are of global importance. The Midlands are the UK's main industrial region. Metallurgy and mechanical engineering are among the most developed industries in the UK. The metallurgy industry employs approximately 582 thousand people. Thanks to the moderate, humid climate, agriculture is well developed. Most of the used rural land is occupied by pastures (about 80%). One of the main crops is sugar beet.

Transport. There are more than 300 seaports in the UK, whose annual cargo turnover exceeds 140 million tons. The largest ports are: London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Southampton. The main navigable rivers are the Thames, Severn, Dover, and Trent. The creation of the English Channel High Speed ​​Railway simplified communications between Great Britain and the mainland. At the same time, the load on the ports of the south of the country has decreased. Expressways stretching from north to south connect different parts of the country. From large cities, highways diverge in radial directions. The length of railways is 37.8, and the length of roads is 358 thousand kilometers. Bridges and tunnels are of great importance for the development of transport, many of which are part of highways.

CULTURE AND HISTORY. The administrative map of Britain has changed several times, because... the annexation of the countries that make up the United Kingdom took centuries. Each once independent state has its own capital or administrative center. The official capital of Great Britain is London, since the unification of the lands took place around England. Over the centuries, Britain, being in first place in the world in terms of economic development, created a colossal colonial power that occupied almost a quarter of the planet's territory. British colonies included India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and much of Africa. In the twentieth century, the English colonies became independent states, but many of them are part of the British Commonwealth, headed by the British monarch. In 1921, the southern part of Ireland separated from Great Britain and became an independent state.

Great Britain is the capital of world culture. Great Britain has wonderful architecture, Great Britain is a country of great “minds” and discoveries. Great Britain is a country of innovations in everything, in scientific inventions, in industry, in architecture, and in music (just remember the 60s of the last century: “THE BEATLES” and “SEX PISTOLS”).

Due to the fact that Britain is an island state, it remains one of the largest maritime powers today. Thanks to its EGP, the UK still has development options. This country can only develop and improve its position in the world.
