England

I got a task to write some information about a country in Great Britain and i have decided to write about England. 

The red cross on the flag appeared as an emblem of England during the Middle Ages and the Crusadesand is one of the earliest known emblems representing England.

England has over a number of 53 million inhabitants, England is therefore the most populous country in the United Kingdom. The English people are British people,Some genetic evidence suggests that 75–95% descend in the paternal line from prehistoric settlers who originally came from the Iberian Peninsula, as well as a 5% contribution from Angles and Saxons, and a significant Norse element. This statistics are is copied in from (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England) As probably we all know and as the name suggests, the English language that's spoken by hundres of millions people around the world originated as the language of England, where it still is kept remain.

The Flag of England is White with a Red Cross on it, because the Patron Saint of England is St George, the flag consists of 3 heraldic crosses. It was Richard I (Richard The Lion Heart) of England who introduced the Cross of St. George, in 1194 A.D. The King's soldiers wore it on their tunics during war so that they didn't kill, or be killed by, their own men.

The capital city of England is London. London is also the capital city in the United Kingdom and also the largest city. London is a leading global city with strengths in the art, commerce, education, entartainment, fashion, finance and the list goes on. The city is the world's most - visited city measured by international arrivals. London has a big diverse range of poeople and cultures, and over 300 languages is spoken whithin its boundaries. 

Many people proberly wonders how the climate in England is, often becouse the turist axpect good weather while visiting the cities. But England has a temperate maritime climate, the climate is mild with temperatures not much lower than 0 degrees on the winter and not much higher than 32 degrees at the summer. I would probebly say that the coldest months of England is in January and February while July is normally the warmest month of the year.

The educations in England is one of the best around the world, many people move to English cities to study and get a education. The education system in England is divided into nursery (ages 3-4),Primary education (ages 4-11), Secondary education (ages 11-18) and tertiary education (ages 18+) 

The politics in England is slighty different than other Europian countries, As part of the United Kingdom, the basic political system in England is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary system. There has not been a Government of England since 1707.Today England is governed directly by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, although other countries of the United Kingdom have devolved governments.
