****Might or might not include Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and other PRC regions depending on topic.

****The UK is a sovereign (unitary) state led by its own government, the Prime Minister being David Cameron and the monarch Queen Elizabeth II, and is made up of 4 'countries': Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England. While 'countries' is the commonly-used descriptive term, owing to the absence of a formal British constitution and the long and complex history of the formation of the UK, the countries of the UK have no official appellation. As a consequence, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are not formal subdivisions of the United Kingdom.
