England is a quaint land surrounded by Scotland, Wales and Ireland (Northern and the Republic of), who make up the United Kingdom, or UK, as well as a few small Islands nobody cares about.
Except the Isle of Mann. People care about that because of the TT motorbike race.
Other than that, they have a history of being one of the most powerful countries in the world. The Monarchy of England is the most famous in the world, and it is that Monarchy which almost lead them, and the rest of the British Empire, to take over the world.
These days England models itself on America a lot. It's rather disgusting. Everyone also thinks of the English as either really cool, those would be Anglophiles, or someone to hate, predominantly Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
People from England do not all talk like Queen Elizabeth II or Sir Ian McKellen. Sadly, the Men are not all gay. Sadly, the Women are not all prudes. Sadly, we do not all refer to ourselves in the third person. Sadly, we are not all funny. And contrary to popular belief we do not try to quash Ireland's, Scotland's or Wales' culture. We are who we are.

"Say, you're from England aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Why don't you say one and crap?"
"... Because I'm not a posh twat?"
"I'm Scottish. I wear a kilt. Got a problem with that, English man?"
"Why, no, I haven't. Why would you ask me such a thing? I'm just someone who happens to be from England."
"LOLOLOLOL lyk ppl from England tlk funi i wish dat i tlkd lyk dat."
A nearby English person punches the retard in the face.

A country that is bad and good... just like any other country! Country of people like Orlando Bloom, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie (House), Richard Branson, Sir Francis Drake, Alfred Hitchcock, David Bowie, Elton John, Stephen Hawking, David Beckham, Jk Rowling, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters and Nock Hornby to name a few!
OK, there are a lot of chavs and idiots like that in England but if you go to areas like Cornwall, Devon, Dartmoor and the Pennines you'll see the real England.
Other countries are no better or worse, they are still a mix of amazing people and scum.
If you hear England and think of stereotypes like having black teeth and idiots think of Stephen Hawking- he probably wouldn't have survived if he had been American, due to the rubbish health system

Lots of places in England have their fair share of chavs and idiots but there are genuinely amazing people there if you hard enough.

North West European country, which shares borders with Scotland and Wales once owned the largest empire the world has ever seen. Unlike common belief, English people dont speak in a posh accent. They speak normal. Also, there is a free healthcare service called the nhs. All in all, even though England, the largest country in Great Britain isn't the largest, richest or most powerful country in the world, it's the best to live in.

A country that is part of the United Kingdom. It contains one of the largest economies in the world, and is indeed a world power.
While the majority of England's population is not what is depicted in the media as "tea-drinking-bloody-saying limeys", most of it's internet population as self centered bigots, who openly boast about the "greatness" of their country, and putting down America because we created our own culture after gaining independence, and we don't constantly praise England. See highest voted entries for verification.
Even as England complains about how Americans "all think we talk funny and are all posh and drink tea" they make equally brash generalizations about Americans, about how all Americans are "fat, disgusting, crude and play fake sports like American football" A lot of English people tend to use what happened hundreds of years ago as the main point of their arguments, thinking that their generation of people are the ones that "freed" America, when the majority of the English aren't even related to strong political powers during the 1700's, nor was America freed by English, but instead the war was won by America that earned America's freedom.
Some English individuals are incapable of accepting other people's cultures, since it is not their own, and therefore it is wrong.

from Engalnd - "Your football is not a real sport!"
America - "Why?"
England - "Because it's not like our football!"
America - "....."
England - "You should stop playing baseball! Why is it called the world series when it's only played in America?!"
America" One, just because it's not massively popular ni your country doesn't mean others should stop playing it, two, it's called the world Series because a large quantity of players who play in American Baseball teams are from around the world, and multiple countries play in the world series, namely Canada and Mexico. People do play baseball in England too, you know."
England - "Your culture is stupid, you call lager beer, which is wrong!"
America - "We're sorry that we have developed a different culture now, and part of that includes different words for different things."
England - "Well... your culture is stupid! And all American's are fat and disgusting!"
America "wow... Yes, around two thirds of American adults are considered over-weight, so are half of English people, with that number steadily rising."
England - "....... your still dumb!"
America - "The literacy rate for both America and England is 99%."
