The UK
administrative union of the countries of the United Kingdom. It is made up up of the
individual Flags of three of the Kingdom's countries all united under one Sovereign - the
countries of 'England, of 'Scotland' and of 'Northern Ireland'. As Wales was not a Kingdom
but a Principality it could not be included on the flag.
Industry
Its economy is traditionally based on coal-mining, iron and steel manufacturing, heavy
machinery and textile industries, shipbuildind and trading. More recent industries include
pharmaceuticals, artificial fibres, electrical equipment, car manufacturing, and high
technology industries
Agriculture still plays an important role in the economy, employing about 1 million
people. Dairy products are more common in the west while sheep and cattle are reared in the
hilly areas of the north and south west. In the south and east, arable farming, pigs, poultry and
horticulture dominate.
