1)Great Britain lies to the northwest of Continental Europe, with Ireland to the west, and makes up the largest part of the territory of the country the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is surrounded by over 1000 smaller islands and islets.
2)Great Britain is the ninth largest island in the world. With a population of 58.9 million people (England/Scotland/Wales only) it is the third most populated island on Earth.
3)England, Scotland and Wales are mostly situated on the island, along with their capital cities, London, Edinburgh and Cardiff respectively.
4)Official languages: English (de facto)
Recognised regional languages: Irish, Ulster Scots, Gaelic, Scots, Welsh, Cornish.
5)Population of Great Britain- 58 000 000 people.
6)The Union Jack is the flag of Great Britain.
When King James VI of Scotland ascended to the English throne, thereby becoming James I of England, the national flags of England and Scotland on land continued to be, respectively, the red St George's cross and the white St Andrew's cross. Confusion arose, however, as to what flag would be appropriate at sea. On 12 April 1606 a proclamation was issued:
"All our subjects in this our isle and kingdom of Great Britain and the members thereof, shall bear in their main top the red cross commonly called St George's Cross and the white cross commonly called St. Andrew's Cross joined together according to a form made by our heralds and sent to our Admiral to be published to our said subjects."
This is the first known reference to the Union Flag. Although the original design referred to has been lost, it is presumed that it was the flag which, with the addition of the St Patrick's cross, forms the basic design of the British Union Flag today. It is also interesting to note that the new flag was not universally popular nor accepted. The English were not overly pleased at the obscuring of the white field of the St George's flag. The Scots, with more justification, were upset at the fact that the red cross was laid over the white. The Scots proposed a number of alternative designs. These included:
The St George's flag with the St Andrew's flag in the canton
The St George's flag with a St Andrew's flag in each quarter. In this bizarre design the white cross of the St Andrew's flag does not extend to the corners of the flag.
The St George's flag with a St Andrew's flag in the centre
