England is one of the four "home nations" that make up the United Kingdom. It is the largest of them, both in terms of surface area and population (about 50 million inhabitants out of about 60 million). On the island of Great Britain, Scotland lies to the north of England and Wales is to the west. Northern Ireland (also part of the UK) and the Republic of Ireland lie across the Irish Sea to west of England (and Wales). France and the Channel Islands lie across the English Channel to the south. The North Sea lies to the east.
It is important not to confuse "England" with the the larger "Britain" or "United Kingdom"; see United Kingdom for clarification on this.
As part of the UK, England is directly governed by the UK government, unlike Scotland and Wales which have recently established their own parliaments/assemblies with local law-making and tax-setting powers. (Some English feel compelled to go on and on about this, but it rarely comes up in the course of normal travel.)
