Q:   Where can I find out more about the countries that make up the UK? 
A:   The UK is made up of the countries of England, Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland. Its full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland. Great Britain, on the other hand, comprises only
England, Scotland and Wales.
