Once a great powerful nation which has ruled more peoples and land than any other country in the history of the world, a much lazier version of the dutch and less cultured as the french. but powerful, cheery, content peoples who live in peace with most countries.. laugh at the americans (who think they won them in the revolutionary war, but it was truely the french) and secretly love the french and germans. who else could send convicts and criminals to a huge barren land full of desert and turn it into a huge succesfull nation? (australia) they invented many things because they were the america of the last century, inventions include:
car jet engine television radio sandwhich pain killer modern army navy air forces democracy GMT(greenwhich mean) clock bike mobile phone internet!!!!!! origin of species law of gravity the anglican church england is believed to have created the basis of the modern world and it has survived today in the extent of the english language. "England is one of vast beauty, power and belief. one i am vain of one we must aspire to be!"
Napoleon "No other nation has inspired me so much as england, creator of the modern world.." Kofi Anan |

Together with Scotish enlghtenment (mainly based in Edinburgh) Welsh raw materials, Irish manpower. The English played a huge part in turning Great Britain into the first truly industrialised nation. It also (again with the aid of the other home nations) formed the largest empire the world had yet seen. Strangely the English attempts at Empire had been successful but not greatly so, while the Scots had failed in panama. When the two combined however things really took off (strange) The English also proved themselves to be a strong fighting nation both on sea and land and contrary to popular myth were equal to the other home nation regiments. For some reason many seem to believe that a race of people that sailed across the North sea and took over much of the fertile land of Great Britain and then fought virtualy non stop with Europe, should be considered pansies. The English are now a hugely mixed group, however as they consider and take pride in their mixed basterdised background (creating a better stronger gene pool) this has had no real negative consequences unless a group is clearly segregating themselves (hence the dislike of the muslim veil) The English relationship with the rest of the U.K. has been tense for many years in the past due mainly to the constant war... |

England is an alright country, depending on what part of England you're from it's a nice place to live. Many of Englands sterotypes are untrue or are untrue now for example bad teeth I've never met anyone in real life with black teeth and I've lived in England my whole life. I'm not saying England is the best country in the world because I don't think it is but i don't think it's as bad as most of these definitions are making out. England is a fun place to live you know!!

Simply, the greatest country in the world. Any negative points said about it, is basically jelousy and every country has equal or far worse points. Britain created the British empire which covered most of the world, and started the industrial revolution which was a turning point in history... Also, our friends in the West, America, uses our language... and along with other countries makes it one of the most spoken languages in history. If it wasn't for England, good ol US of A would be full of native americans, and you woudnt have the necessities you have and take for granted. How great a country must we be, to rule most of the world, and achieving all this even though our country is so small!
WE MAY HAVE A CRAP FOOTBALL TEAM, BUT WE INVENTED FOOTBALL, SO HOW BOUT THAT! in conclusion, England is a phenominal country, and has achieved so much! "England is so small, but has created so much"
