The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK) and colloquially Great Britain (GB) or simply Britain, is a sovereign country in western Europe.
 Lying off the north-western coast of the European mainland, the United Kingdom includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and many smaller islands.
 Northern Ireland is the only part of the United Kingdom that shares a land border with another sovereign statethe Republic of Ireland.
 Apart from this land border, the United Kingdom is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea to its east, the English Channel to its south and the Celtic Sea to its south-south-west, giving it the 12th-longest coastline in the world.
 The Irish Sea lies between Great Britain and Ireland.
 With an area of 242500 km2 , the United Kingdom is the 78th-largest sovereign state in the world and the 11th-largest in Europe.
 It is also the 21st-most populous country, with an estimated 65.1 million inhabitants.
 Together, this makes it the fourth-most densely populated country in the European Union (EU).
The Geography of Albania is defined by its location.
 Albania is a small predominantly mountainous country in Southeastern Europe, on facing the Adriatic and Ionian seas within the Mediterranean Sea.
 Albania covers a territory of 28748 km2 , making it the 145th largest country in the world.
 It lies mostly between latitudes 42° and 39° N, and longitudes 21° and 19° E.
 The country shares borders with Montenegro in the northwest, Kosovo in the northeast, Macedonia in the east and Greece in the south.
 It's coastline length on the Adriatic and the Ionian Seas is 476 km .
 The lowlands of the west face the Adriatic Sea and the strategically important Strait of Otranto, which puts less than 72 km of water between Albania and the heel of the Italian coast.
The Western European and Others Group (WEOG) is one of five unofficial Regional Groups in the United Nations that act as voting blocs and negotiation forums.
 Regional voting blocs were formed in 1961 to encourage voting to various UN bodies from regional groups.
 As of 2010, there are 28 member states, plus one observer.
 Almost all members are in Western Europe, but the WEOG is unusual in that geography is not the sole defining factor; Europe is divided between the WEOG and the Eastern European Group, and the WEOG also contains Canada, Australia, New Zealand, which are culturally and politically descended from Western European states but are located far away from them.
 Israel is also a permanent member, due to its strong cultural and historical links with Western Europe and its inability to join the Asian Group due to opposition by Arab countries.
 The group also contains one observer, the United States, which has voluntarily chosen not to participate as a member, and attends meetings as an observer only.
 However, it is considered to be a member for putting forward candidates for electoral purposes in the United Nations General Assembly.
 Turkey participates fully in both the WEOG and the Asian Group, but for electoral purposes is considered a member of the WEOG only.
Courmayeur is a town and "comune" in northern Italy, in the autonomous region of Aosta Valley.
 At an elevation of 1224 m above sea level, it is located at the foot of the southern side of Mont Blanc, at 4810 m the highest point in the Alps and western Europe (see Seven Summits), and is crossed by the Dora Baltea river.
 Courmayeur shares administration of Mont Blanc with its neighboring commune of Saint-Gervais-les-Bains in France, and is consequently able to claim the title of highest commune in Italy.
 Courmayeur also shares access to the glacial ski run of the "Vallée Blanche" with another French town, Chamonix, which sits at the opposite, northern, side of the Mont Blanc massif.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) rights in Northern Ireland are the least advanced in the United Kingdom and Ireland, lagging behind Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland respectively.
 It was the last country in the United Kingdom to legalise same-sex sexual activity, the last to end a lifetime ban on blood donations by men who have sex with men and since 2015 is the only part of western Europe to prohibit same-sex marriage.
 Progress on LGBT rights has mostly been achieved during direct rule by the Government of the United Kingdom or through court action rather than local legislative reform, due to the veto power wielded by the anti-LGBT Democratic Unionist Party and its allies under Northern Ireland's power-sharing system.
 ILGA rates Northern Ireland as the worst place in the United Kingdom for LGBT people, with 74% equality of rights compared to 86% LGBT equality in the United Kingdom overall and 92% equality in Scotland.
 LGBT rights campaigner Peter Tatchell describes Northern Ireland as "the most homophobic place in western Europe".
Haplogroup L-M20 is a human Y-DNA haplogroup, which is defined by SNPs M11, M20, M61 and M185.
 It is most commonly found in populations native to South Asia, especially Afghanistan, Pakistan and South India.
 The clade also occurs in Tajikistan and Anatolia, as well as at lower frequencies in Iran, Western Europe, Central Europe, Northeastern Europe, the Caucasus, Balkans and Central Asia.
 The subclade L2 (L-L595), while it is extremely rare, is seldom found outside Western Europe.
The European herring gull ("Larus argentatus") is a large gull (up to 26 in long).
 One of the best known of all gulls along the shores of western Europe, it was once abundant.
 It breeds across Northern Europe, Western Europe, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and the Baltic states.
 Some European herring gulls, especially those resident in colder areas, migrate further south in winter, but many are permanent residents, e.g. in Ireland, Britain, Iceland, or on the North Sea shores.
 European herring gulls have a varied diet, including fish, crustaceans and dead animals as well as some plants.
Hoscheid (Luxembourgish: "Houschent" ) is a small town in north-eastern Luxembourg.
 It was a commune, part of the canton of Diekirch, which is part of the district of Diekirch.
 On January 1, 2012, it merged with the communes of Consthum and Hosingen to form Parc Hosingen commune, thereby becoming part of Clervaux canton, still in the district of Diekirch.
European windstorm is a name given to the strongest extratropical cyclones which occur across the continent of Europe.
 They form as cyclonic windstorms associated with areas of low atmospheric pressure.
 They are most common in the autumn and winter months.
 On average, the month when most windstorms form is January.
 The seasonal average is 4.6 windstorms.
 Deep low pressure areas are relatively common over the North Atlantic, sometimes starting as nor'easters off the New England coast, and frequently track across the North Atlantic Ocean towards western Europe, past the north coast of Britain and Ireland and into the Norwegian Sea.
 However, when they track further south they can affect almost any country in Europe.
 Commonly affected countries include the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, the Faroe Islands and Iceland, but any country in Central Europe, Northern Europe and especially Western Europe is occasionally struck by such a storm system.
Luxembourg ( ) (Luxembourgish: "Lëtzebuerg" ] ; French: "Luxembourg" , German: "Luxemburg" ), officially the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is a landlocked country in western Europe.
 It is bordered by Belgium to the west and north, Germany to the east, and France to the south.
 Its capital, Luxembourg City, is, together with Brussels and Strasbourg, one of the three official capitals of the European Union and the seat of the European Court of Justice, the highest juridical authority in the EU.
 Its culture, people and languages are highly intertwined with its neighbours, making it essentially a mixture of French and Germanic cultures.
 This is emphasised by the three official languages, Luxembourgish, French, and German.
 The repeated invasions by Germany, especially in World War II, resulted in the country's strong will for mediation between France and Germany and, among other things, led to the foundation of the European Union.
