Great Britain

Great Britain, known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, has an area of some 245.000 square kilometres and is divided into 49 administrative counties. It consists of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is separated from the continent by the English Channel.

The climate of Great Britain is determined by the eastern Atlantic. Winters are not so cold as they can be on the continent, but summers are not so hot as they are on the other side of the Channel.

It often rains in Great Britain and there is thick fog in autumn or in winter and it is the most typical feature of the climate in this country.

Great Britain is a highly developed industrial country. Most of its industries are concerned with the production of iron and steel goods, vehicles and chemicals.

One of the principal industries of Great Britain is shipbuilding. For centuries Britain has been the leading shipbuilder in the world. The great disadvantage of Great Britain however is that it possesses very few of the raw materials necessary for its industry. Most of them are imported.
