2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $1675.86Goal: $10000
Information icon.svg At the chicken coop, we are currently voting on a change to the blocking policy to clarify when offsite behavior such as harassment and brigading can get someone banned from RW. A reminder that you need at least 75 edits and to have had an account for at least 3 months to vote.

Necker cube.svg Tired of laughing? RationalWiki has a slightly more serious article about England.
The English, the English, the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest.
—Flanders and Swann

England is a city on the island of Great Britain (There are also the countries of Wales and Scotland).

Citizens of the U.S.A., who are usually surprisingly good at world geography (with their own geography containing New England), sometimes have the tendency to confuse the concepts of England, Great Britain, and The United Kingdom. England is a nation, Great Britain is an island, and the U.K. is a state. Clear now?

It is known primarily for the invention of real football (and for being really bad at it), its remarkably shitty diverse cuisine[1] (that's French for "food"), and losing the largest empire ever assembled losing the second largest empire ever assembled, the American empire is even larger.
