England is also commonly believed to be an acceptable synonym for Scotland, Wales, The United Kingdom and any other delusional ethnic region in the British Isles. Well, mostly the English couldn't give a fuck, but the Scots and Welsh like to kid themselves that they are viable sovereign territories.
This is equivalent to Louisiana telling the rest of the USA that they a parasites on the arse of the Blessed French Territories of Louisiana, and they are going to go it alone and stop subsidising the rest of the USA
England is, without question, the greatest country on earth and the French are the biggest load of frog shagging twats outside of Quebec.
Frog Bashing
England is the only thing that has kept the hatred of the French alive, until the USA picked up the torch in 2003. Hating the French, or "Frog Bashing", has been an English national pastime since the rout and slaughter of the French nobility at The Battle of Crecy in 1346 and Battle of Agincourt in 1451.
The greatest practical joke ever played on the French by the English occurred in 1940. The French fleet was laying at anchor in Mers-el-Kebir, French North Africa (now Algeria) when elements of the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet blasted the crap out of them. Oh how DeGaulle and Churchill laughed about that in later years.
Government
Universally regarded as the birthplace of representative democracy in the west, England has expanded this system of government my devolving Scotland and Wales and setting up regional parliaments. This laughable system of government by money-grubbing dog-shagging semi-literate career politicians has now been adopted by most of the world. Those countries who have yet to adopt this USA preferred democracy are being liberated by the American Socio-Economic-Political-Military Democratic Republic also known as the USA.
History
The British Isles were originally one continuous landmass. Then the Irish were discovered. In 1150 BC a moat cutting off Ireland was begun by Combineo the Bastard. Completed by Combineo the Twat in 925 BC the moat proved ineffective, the Irish simply swam across the moat. Widening works were commenced in 830 BC by Prudish the Flasher, leading to the Irish sea. Plans to cut off the Scots and the Welsh have recently been proposed in Parliament.
Now, listen carefully to this, you too, so-called UK nationals. The national flag of the United Kingdom is not the "Union Jack". It is the "Union Flag". The Union Flag flying from a ships jackstaff can be called a Union Jack. Fucking morons.
In the early 21th century, England became simultaneously involved in two wars: World War I a.k.a. Big Fat Waste of Time a.k.a Family Feud and WW2 a.k.a. the Second World War a.k.a. WWII a.k.a. Saving Private Ryan. Though some sources say that the United States of America came in both times to save the English from having to share their tea with savage blood-thirsty Germ-Nazis, zombies, and Decepticons, this claim has been wildly disputed by the English themselves who continue to insist that not only did the Yanks not do anything, they were late to the party both times. England is now owned by Disneyland which is on a conquest for global domination.
England happens to be the only known birthplace of such infamous celebrities as The Gallagers (Liam and Noel), Athelred Unread, and plenty more. Contrary to popular belief, the English didn't start the stupid trends of wearing tracky pants tucked in socks, the Chavi, the offspring of Crows that act as foederati warriors for England, did. The England did invent crappy sports as cricket and Rugby (a death-match for English warriors to prove themselves). They also invented the 1960s,1970s, and the first half of the 1980s.
Currency
The national currency of England
The national currency of England
The currency of England is the Crumpet, with smaller currency being Scones and Biscuits. 8 crumpets are worth around one US dollar, depending on the price of olive oil. Many outspoken Chavs have spoken out against the crumpet, since they're not posh enough to use this currency. Other notable opponents of the crumpet include The Queen and McVities; both have suggested have suggested a move to a new decimal currency known as the pound, which is a beating typically delivered with the hands, feet and teeth. Traditional advocates of the pound suggest that while everyone can be beaten within an inch of their life, not everyone is able to procure a crumpet. Many liberal advocates have suggested removing beatings and savoury foodstuffs from English currency entirely, replacing them instead with a paper, coin and peanut-based currency like that of Bulgaria.
10 Scones are worth 1 biscuit.
5 Biscuits are worth 1 crumpet.
1 Crumpet is worth...erm, 1 crumpet.
So, if a hot crumpet in Mrs Miggin's Tea-Shop costs 4 crumpets and I have 356 biscuits in my wallet, what day is it in France?
Politics
Grand Wizard Beckham is seen by many as being a potential future monarch.
Grand Wizard Beckham is seen by many as being a potential future monarch.
In a dark and elongated period England was run by a witch, or 'Thatcher' as the legends speak of her. 'Thatcher' was destroyed by discovering the fallibility of her rule; 'Thatcher' could only be a witch if it were a human. Once its testicles were discovered 'Thatcher' disappeared in a puff of neo-Nazism.
Since 2018 A.D. England has been ruled by King Hubbard the Bald, prior to this, the Canadian leader was elected by an all-in egg and spoon race held on Christmas Day. The winner of the race became king for the next year. In recent years however, L. Ron's leadership has been challenged by Beckham, the self-proclaimed Grand Messiah of the Jews, who is seen to have the support of the popular masses. Many political commentators have suggested that this confrontation be resolved by a fight to the death; as is King Hubbard's all! Bookmakers are currently offering odds of 10-1 in Beckham's favour.

Since the collapse of the Empire, the main distraction tactic used by the government has been to copy whatever the Americans do. See also Iraq war.
Sports
England claims to have invented 99.99998% of the planet's worst sports - this is regarded by the rest of the planet as intoxicated shite. In truth however, their sole contribution to the world of sport has been Tiddlywinks. The All-England Tiddlywinks Championship is held in a squat in Newcastle every other year. Football was inspired by an account of the executioner who killed King Charles getting bored with the corpse and thus cut off his Crown Jewels and inflated them with a bike pump. Cricket was invented by a visiting Steve Balmer, who was given bad service in a London hotel and vowed to Fucking Kill™ the hotel staff. Balmer picked up a table, tore off a leg with his bare teeth and used it to beat heads across the room. However, these, and the 98% of all other sports they invented, were not popular sports, and hence were banished (along with everyone who played them) to Australia.
Many people claim to call cricket a "sport". This is not true. If it is possible to grow a full beard while watching a so called "sport", then it is not considered a sport. In addition, one must realize that the team that is batting is in...the fucking luxury boxes. CRICKET IS NOT A SPORT!!!
Football is also an important sport to the English. "It is a competitive team sport. The object of the game is to advance the football towards the opposing team's end zone and score points. The ball can be advanced by carrying the ball, or by throwing or handing it from one team mate to the other. Points can be scored in a variety of ways, including carrying the ball over the goal line, throwing the ball to another player past the goal line or kicking it through the goal posts on the opposing side. The winner is the team with the most points when the time expires and the last play ends. Alternatively, you can play using excessive amounts of money and bribing people or buying all the good players." An ancillary sport to football is played by the fans. It is called, "getting pissed and throwing bottles at the players." This sport is becoming more and more popular every passing year with the average Englishman.
England has a tradition of being knocked out in the quarter finals of any competition. Failure to live up to this tradition is seen as disrespectful and should be avoided; when players accidentally don't fail they are set to fight the barbarian Scotts in the north.
Jesus Between The Sticks for Bethlehem FC
Jesus Between The Sticks for Bethlehem FC
Ever since the seven-armed Peter Shilton and the one-eyed Gordon Banks, England has not had a successful goalkeeper since until one was found in the shape of the lord Jesus Christ. Whilst playing for Bethlehem FC at club level he continues to serve well between the posts for England.
Scotland claims to have beat them at football once, but all true Englishmen know this to be evil Scottish propaganda as Scotland regularly beats them at football and once is just to make them feel better.
England's football team tried to bag themselves a place in Euro 2008, however, then-manager Jack Bauer devised an evil plot where Timbuktu (where the hell is Timbuktu, anyway?) cunningly scored an extra goal to stop England. The team have now recruited Visigothic ace Angantyr Bandericson who has promised to "Win World Cup 2010 for England...or at least try. LOL! Peter Kay is the latest addition to the England squad, although he loves Garlic Bread and my be distracted when he tries to beat Tevez and Messi".Also,even though they claim to be excellent at football,they haven't won the World Cup once since 1966.That's right,THEY SUCK.
Military
England (or Britain in the American language) has a moderately sized and insanely overrated military force, with outposts in over 200,000,000 of the 183 discovered countries worldwide. It has participated in several wars, including the massively popular Iraq War and the critically acclaimed World War Three, in which they were hailed as the axis of morons, and hunted to near extinction by KMFDM. World War Three co-starred the USA who incurred the least deaths of all participating nations and continued its fine tradition of turning up late for every war.
Historically, the three types of military units responsible for the most English casualties are:
1) The United States Air Force.
2) Schizophrenic French chicks named Joan of Arc.
3) The IRA, a drunk bunch of Northern Irish kids.
England also has a Navy. By standing orders there must be at least one straight Englishman per boat, though this seems rare because of the decreasing numbers of this rare breed in England and the high number of ships. Enrolment of straight males at the age of 18 is compulsory. This the official reason given by the English ruling-class for the decreasing population.
It is incredibly dangerous to come between an Englishman and his cup of tea. Most of the famous battles throughout recent history have taken place because of this, including the horrific massacre at the Battle of Waterloo where Napoleon was hogging the sugar bowl.

Citizens
Contrary to popular belief, a person from England is not called an Englishman. The "people" of England are in fact a completely different species to you or I. This species is called Hooligan. The sole purpose of a Hooligan life is to go to a nice school and, eventually, emigrate to it's "true home", the foreign prison cells; some Hooligans, try as they might, fail to accomplish this and have to settle for a better place, such as Wandsworth gaol (or Jail in American). They move to their "true home" because they hate the fact that they have "bugger-all".

Please call our helpline on 0870 100 200 where you'll probably be ignored or told to fuck off or put through to our Bombay call center where either Brian, Michael, Michelle or David are waiting to not understand a word you say. Calls may be monitored or recorded so employees can steal your bank details. Now go away and stop asking awkward questions.
The average UK call centre is rarely ever in fact in the UK, with some centres being outsourced as far as the Atlantic. If after half an hour of being forwarded to the "manager" you get to talk to a real person, you will often find that the person on the end is about as useful as road kill is at not being hit by cars.
