Actually, it is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
(UK for short) that has a partly unwritten constitution. England is not a
country in the full sense of the word, since it doesn't have it's own
government, and anyway it has generally been run by people from a much
smaller nation to the North.

OK. With apologies for sending this thread along yet another OT
tangent, you have piqued my curiosity. What country without a written
constitution claims to be a constitutional republic? Llike I said, I'm
just curious, you're quite welcome to email me directly if you wish
(seeing as it is an OT tangent.)
