A union of four countries - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - the United Kingdom is an island nation located in Western Europe, on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, with a number of additional semi-independent territories around the world. The UK has a hereditary monarch as head of state and an elected prime minister and parliament as the head of government and legislature respectively. While the UK has a generally good human rights record overall, concerns have been raised about the treatment of migrant children, including their detention, and the high number of children in prison.
