The
United Kingdom
of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland,
commonly known as
the United Kingdom,
the UK, or Great
Britain, is a
sovereign island
country located off
the 'Northwestern'
coast of mainland
Europe comprising of
the four constituent
countries; England,
Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland. It
includes the island
of Great Britain,
the northeast part
of the island of
Ireland and many
small islands.
Northern Ireland is
the only part of the
UK with a land
border, sharing it
with the Republic of
Ireland. Apart from
this land border,
the UK is surrounded
by the Atlantic
Ocean, the North
Sea, the English
Channel and the
Irish Sea. The
largest island,
Great Britain, is
linked to
France by the
Channel Tunnel.
The United Kingdom
is a parliamentary
democracy with its
seat of government
in London, the
capital. It is a
constitutional
monarchy with Queen
Elizabeth II the
head of state. The
Crown Dependencies
of the Channel
Islands and the Isle
of Man, formally
possessions of the
Crown, are not part
of the UK but form a
federacy with it.
The
UK has fourteen
overseas
territories, all
remnants of the
British Empire,
which at its height
encompassed almost a
quarter of the
world's land
surface, making it
the largest empire
in history. As a
direct result of the
empire, British
influence can be
observed in the
infrastructure,
culture, sporting
preferences and
language of other
leading countries
including Australia,
Canada,
New Zealand,
India, South
Africa, and the
United States of
America as well as
in less globally
influential
independent states.
Queen Elizabeth II
remains the head of
the Commonwealth of
Nations and head of
state of the
Commonwealth realms.
The UK is a
developed country,
with the fifth or
sixth largest
economy depending on
source.
The UK was the
world's foremost
power during the
19th and early 20th
century, but the
economic cost of two
world wars and the
decline of its
empire in the latter
half of the 20th
century diminished
its leading role in
global affairs. The
UK nevertheless
retains significant
economic, cultural,
military and
political influence
and is a nuclear
power, with the
third highest
defence spending in
the world. It holds
a permanent seat on
the United Nations
Security Council,
and is a member of
the G8, NATO, the
European Union and
the Commonwealth of
Nations.
