The United Kingdom is made up of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It has a long history and was formed through the political union of these countries over centuries. In recent decades, there has been a rise in national identities and a push for more autonomy, with Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland now having their own devolved governments. However, the future unity of the UK remains uncertain as support for independence continues to grow in some areas.
