A term to discribe decline of a previously civilized Western European country. As a result of conservative, strictly free economy capitalist govenrment.
Also meaning the influence that U.S.A may have on the policies of smaller countries often allies. Related to old term Finlandization. Finlandisierung
This period of conservatism has been, in effect, the politics of economic decline. We have been unsettled spectators at the Englandization of our economy. Our universities, government programs, health care system, libraries, and roads are all becoming more modest--some of them slightly shabby, like pensioners who can't replace their tattered socks.The politics of decline has produced an ethic in which people, facing shrinking fortunes, are pitted against each other. In this environment people care more about preserving what they can for themselves than contributing to the commonwealth, the common good. Taxes are resented as an unwarranted intrusion, rather than as a contribution to such community benefits as education, transportation, street lights, and safety.

A decent place. No more, no less. England varies depending mostly on what city you stay in. Yes, we have a problem with immigration, chavs, an underachieving football team, but we're not full of tea drinkers, with awful teeth/food either.
As the author of #1 stated, we have an unhealthy relationship with the other nations in the U.K, due to things that happened centuries ago, and sports games, but none of us really took off until we combined. My wife is Welsh, and I love her with all my heart.
Simply put, we are just an alright country.
In England, you are sure to have both good and bad experiences.

Englander is someone of English descent living in a foriegn country that has not given up their traditional cultural manerisms in favour of their adopted cultural ways.
Once an Englander always an Englander.
Despite living in an adopted culture the man remains in the ways of an Englander true to his heritage, an outsider on the inside.

English people are pissed off that American's think they drink tea and say 'spiffing' and shite.
Americans are pissed off becauses English people think they're all fat and stupid.
Yes, if it wasnt for England, America wouldnt be as we know it. Then again, if it wasnt for America, England wouldnt be what it is today either.
Face this fact: The two countries can't survive without eachother. Get over it, get on with your lives. (:

England is an alright country, depending on what part of England you're from it's a nice place to live. Many of Englands sterotypes are untrue or are untrue now for example bad teeth I've never met anyone in real life with black teeth and I've lived in England my whole life. I'm not saying England is the best country in the world because I don't think it is but i don't think it's as bad as most of these definitions are making out.
England is a fun place to live you know!!
