"England in Great Britain in the United... " a England Travel Page by easyoar

It would be impossible to ever have a complete England page (well certainly when you live in England), so expect this page to be constantly evolving! There is a lot I would like to add and probably a lot more I should add. England is essentially the southern part of the Great Britain. The remainder of it being Scotland and Wales. If you thrown Northern Ireland into the equation, then the whole lot is referred to as the United Kingdom. Historically, England has been the dominant part of the Union. This is evident in the British flag, which is made up of a conglomeration of the flags of England, Northern Ireland and Scotland (the Welsh flag features a dragon, and would not have fitted with the design). The English flag is the red cross of St George on a white background, the Scottish flag is the White Cross of St Andrew on a Blue background (diagonal cross), and the Northern Irish flag is a diagonal red cross on a white background. If you lok at the Union Jack flag, you will see only one of these crosses is complete, and that is the English Cross of St George which covers the other two crosses. The implication was the England was the dominant member of the Union.
