    I assume with 'England' you mean all the Britsh islands. The CIA factbook, last updated on dec. 18th 2003 and absolutely correct, states about the official country name:

    conventional long form: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
    conventional short form: United Kingdom
    abbreviation: UK

    Guess this will lead to some discussion again, but how you refer to it in written or spoken language is really a matter of local custom and personal preference.
