Britain is a country of islands located （位于）in the west of Europe. The island of Great Britain itself is composed of three parts: English in the south, Scotland in the north, and Wales in the southwest. England as the largest and developed of the three, has an area of more than 130,000 square kilometers with a population of more than 46 million. The importance of England is obvious, so some foreigners just say “England” when they really mean Britain. The same is true of the custom of mentioning the British people as the English who make up 85% off the country’s population. Scotland is the second largest both in area and population. Its area is 78,760 square kilometers, making up less then 30% of the whole island. It has the population of 5 million. That is less then one-tenth of the total population.

Wales is the smallest of the three both in area and population. Its area is 20,000 square kilometers, less then 9%; while its population is 2.7million, that dose exceed（超过） 5% of the whole.
