Despite minor problems, England is still the coolest place in the world.
Yes we are disliked by some nations (like the Irish and what seems to be the Americans after reading other posts) but we still rock. We invented half of the sports the average person plays, eg. football (or soccer if you must), cricket, golf, ruby and boxing,we are arguably one of Europe's centres of culture, had the biggest empire known to man plus about 1000 other things.
A word to some of the Anglophobes around here, namingly the Americans...
1) You think our accents are strange? Try yours
2) If you hate all of us so much then why speak our language? Why do you use our measurement system? Huh?
3) So what if we drink tea and eat crumpets? So what if we have bad weather? So what if we have a royal family? Nice to have a bit of culture unlike you lot.
Pax Brittania
American: So you're from England huh?
Englishman: Yes...you are?
American: We have tons more nukes than you guys do...
Englishman: I don't doubt that.
American: You're confusing me.
Englishman: I am not surprised.
American: What?!
Englishman: Nevermind.
American: You have funny accents.
Irishman: You bastards! You took our land! You bastards! Gimme my land back.
Englishman: That was 80 years ago. You have your own country now. Doesn't that feel good after 750years? Be happy.
Irishman: An English soldier killed my great grandfather who I never fooking met! I hate England for fooking ever.
Englishman: I'll be going now.
Irishman: Fooking English bastard...We won the war in 1916!
Englishman: If you are referring to your 'war' in Easter 1916 which was merely a crushed rebellion, no,I'm afraid you didn't.

A country in Great Britain that, funnily enough, consists of more than just London, and has inhabitants which, contrary to popular American belief, do not usually play tennis with Prince Charles and then go eat crumpets and drink tea with the Queen every afternoon at four.
English; "I'm from England?"
American; "Ohmygodddd, you're from London right?"
English; "Actually I'm from Leeds."
American; "...where?"
American; "Are you from England?"
English; "yes"
American; "Do you know the Queen?"
English; (sarcastically) "Oh yes. As a matter of fact I'm just off hunting with her royal highness. Pip-pip."

A country like any other, with both good and bad people and things.
Sadly it's a country that is subject to rather a lot of racism, as exemplified by most of the posts on this website.
"England stole my country. England enslaved the world. etc. etc."
"No, that was Britain, which includes Scotland and Wales and used to include a few other countries too, and it all happened long before any of us was born".
Get over it.

Once a great powerful nation which has ruled more peoples and land than any other country in the history of the world, a much lazier version of the dutch and less cultured as the french. but powerful, cheery, content peoples who live in peace with most countries.. laugh at the americans (who think they won them in the revolutionary war, but it was truely the french) and secretly love the french and germans. who else could send convicts and criminals to a huge barren land full of desert and turn it into a huge succesfull nation? (australia) they invented many things because they were the america of the last century, inventions include:
car
jet engine
television
radio
sandwhich
pain killer
modern army
navy
air forces
democracy
