The country


England lies North-West of the European shore. It exists of 2 greater Islands and hundreds of smaller ones. The biggest island is called "Great-Britain", the smaller one is Ireland. Both of these islands have a different government and state.

The first real civilization of England were the Celts, however there are signs of a way older civilization. (ex. Stonehenge). The country was invaded by the Romans aswell, but they were driven away by the Anglo-saxons. They are to become the british race as we know it. There has always been some rumbling in England between different ethnic groups of people, and at the start of the 20th century there was made a difference between Northern and Southern Ireland. Northern Island became part of the UK while Southern Ireland became independant from the Northern part. Both Ireland and Great-Britain are now members of Europe and the European Union.
