Traditions: United Kingdom

                                      United Kingdoms

   UK is known as United Kingdoms and is an island country located in west Europe. The country itself is made up of England, Scotland, Whales and northern Ireland. Its surrounded by large waters such as the Atlantic ocean, the Celtic sea, North sea, and the English channel. With these seas its climate is windy and rainy most of the time. Northern regions would most likely stay cold, meanwhile the southern parts of the country would remain more colder. The monarch kingdom has an estimated number of civilians of 66'040'229 people by 2017. This makes the nation speak a variety of languages other than the native English one, such as Scots, Ulster Scots, Welsh, Cornish, Irish to name a few.
   The country has been in monarchy ever since history. Thus, having a long and rich history.It also is a very multicultural country meaning that there are different holidays for different religions, beliefs, ideas etc. But a there is a celebration in particular that might be interesting to know about. The " Bank Holidays" is an event that happens through all of UK even though they would be celebrated in different times across regions of the country. This was an influential result of the Bank Holidays act in 1871. On this day banks as well as other work places have a paid holiday. Even if the Queens birthday is widely celebrated by  a parade it still quiet hasn't become a tradition yet. As a widespread nation and with so much historical information; there is still no such  holiday as a " National Day". But after the 4 nations had turned into one  country, they have had celebrations to fest on interracial communication and such. These would be an interesting holidays. But within those people exist many sub celebration and fests to be known. Thus some may not be exactly a traditional holiday.
The culture here and the culture across the world differs so much. As an example if we take Mongolia, we have lesser people and the civilians are mostly known to be from a singular ethnic group or have similar beliefs and religions. This may hinder many people to do things at once but the holiday will be of something the same. Meanwhile in an more ethnically open and variable there will be more people celebrating several things during different times of the year.In conclusion, The tradition and the culture of the United Kingdoms can be widespread and be varying people to people, meanwhile in Mongolia tradition seems more of the same and similar things kept to the only few ethnic groups existing in the country.
