Modern administrative counties of England

At the county level, England is divided into 90 administrative units, formally called "metropolitan and non-metropolitan counties". There are several different types, including non-metropolitan counties, metropolitan counties, sui generis authorities, and unitary authorities. Can you name them all?

England is part of the United Kingdom, not another name for it. This quiz is not about counties in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.

Berkshire is officially called a non-metropolitan county, but since 1998 it has had no county council and its six districts are unitary authorities. The districts are listed separately for the purposes of this quiz.
