| | England and Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | England and Wales are constituent countries of the United Kingdom and, because they share the same legal system, England and Wales is considered a single unit for the conflict of laws (sometimes termed a single state). | | | The Wales and Berwick Act 1746 meant that in all future laws, 'England' would by default include Wales (and Berwick-upon-Tweed). | | | The other parts of the United Kingdom, namely Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as dependencies such as the Isle of Man and the Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey, are also separate states, each with their own legal system. |
