England and Wales is a political and legal unit with the United Kingdom. It consists of England and Wales, two of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom. Unlike Scotland and Northern Ireland, Wales follows the legal system known as English law, and the two form the constitutional successor to the former Kingdom of England. England and Wales are therefore treated as a single unit in private international law.

If considered as a subdivision of the United Kingdom, England and Wales would have a population of 53,390,300 (89% of the United Kingdom total) and an area of 151,174 km².
