Whilst occasionally you come across some web sites address sections listing &#8220;England&#8221;, &#8220;Wales&#8221;, &#8220;Scotland&#8221; and &#8220;Northern Ireland&#8221; instead of &#8220;United Kingdom&#8221; for the country selection, its quite rare. United Kingdom is much more often the &#8220;Country&#8221; choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there the next option is County (called &#8220;State&#8221; in the US), and this will normally be all of the counties spread across the 4 actual countries within the United Kingdom.  It would be incredibly unusual to come across a site which asked Country = United Kingdom and then asked Country again for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, it just doesn&#8217;t happen.  The 4 countries within the UK are usually completely omitted and just United Kingdom used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After county\/state selection it is then City \/ Town \/ Village as one single choice with all of them listed in a drop down.  E.g. after selecting say &#8220;Surrey&#8221; as the County (State,) &#8220;Croydon&#8221; would be there as well as say &#8220;Blindley Heath&#8221;, even though the first is a very large town in Surrey and the latter is a very small village in Surrey.  They both are in Surrey and the next level down from County\/State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UK list of towns, cities and villages We&#8217;ve not used this resource personally yet, but it claims to be accurate and lists 43,000 towns, cities and villages with location data and is not too expensive: https:\/\/www.uktownslist.co.uk\/ How UK users select address The country choice for a United Kingdom online user is usually &#8220;United Kingdom&#8221;.
