Basic information about the country
The United Kingdom is not one of the countries that can boast of a big size. Though it is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, it is only twice as large as New York state. The country is the constitutional monarchy.

In the UK, the agricultural sector produces approximately two thirds of food needs, though not more than 2 percent of labor force is used. This can be explained by the fact the local agriculture is highly mechanized and intensive.

The total route length of the railway network is approximately 16,500 kilometers, while the one of waterways is 3,200 kilometers.
