How many states are there in England?

Question

and the capital of each state?

Answer 1

None. England is divided into counties. It is a monarchy, not a federation.

Answer 2

We don't have states we have counties. Not all countries have states or counties, France have something called Departments. They're all basically just areas with cities and towns in them but are a bit different in different countries. The counties in England don't have capitals but large towns/cities within the counties. There are counties in the U.S.A. too.

The counties of England are territorial divisions of England for the purposes of administrative, political and geographical demarcation. Many current counties have foundations in older divisions such as the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The name county originates in the area formerly or nominally administered by a Count, although in Britain the situation is complicated by the fact that the title Count has been replaced in normal usage by the older Saxon title of Earl. An Earl's wife, however, bears the title of Countess.

The names, boundaries and functions of these divisions have changed considerably in modern times. Indeed, a series of local government reforms from the 19th century onwards has left the exact definition of the term 'county' ambiguous. The term "counties of England" does not, therefore, refer to a unique canonical set of names or boundaries; in formal use, the type of county relevant to the specific task and period is explicitly stated e.g. ceremonial county, registration county, historic county or former postal county.

Answer 15

Traditionally, England was divided into counties, and each county had a county town, which was the centre for administration (equivalent of a state capital). However, since local government reorganisation in 1974, the importance of counties has diminished, especially in larger urban areas, where metropolitan councils have taken over their role.

Answer 16

they are not states, they are counties; and they don't really have capitals to be fair
