The union between those nations that make up the United Kingdom - England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and - according to some - Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cornwall. The flag is more correctly known as the Union Flag for that reason. It incorporates crosses traditionally identified with England, Scotland and Wales and thus symbolized their union under one crown.
