• England – Divided into nine regions and 48 ceremonial counties, England also has various districts and parishes.
• Scotland – Divided into 32 council areas for local government purposes, Scotland is also divided into 34 counties or shires for cultural and geographical purposes.
• Wales –  Divided into 22 single-tier principal areas for local government purposes, Wales is bordered by England, the Irish Sea and the Bristol Channel.
