Michael,

One final point.. the eight English regions (which exist above counties)
are merely statistical units rather than administrative divisions (although
there are certain government agencies for each of them). Since the advent
of devolution in Scotland and Wales, there is some talk of creating
regional governments based on these, but nothing has happened yet.

The regions (plus Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) are listed as the
primary sub-divisions in ISO 3166-3, but this is completely meaningless in
my opinion.
