England (place)

(see all of England, there are 3 more in this node)

The willing expat's view:

A medium sized country, too large to be properly livable, too small to be of any global significance, in or around NW Europe. Superficially attractive, although travel around it is largely impracticable, its main social characteristics are a complete lack of solidarity and a tendency to despise anything that might be considered "clever", fostered by the lingering squirearchy and the tabloid press. Possesses a vestigial empire which includes Wales, Scotland and the Falkland Islands. The capital city is Washington, DC and the established religion is shopping.

The beer is quite good, though.
