Dieu Et Mon Droit. (God and my right)
The United Kingdom is a country northwest of the Eurasian mainland, in the British Isles, that occupies the entire island of Great Britain, as well as the northern part of Ireland. It consists of the smaller countries of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom once held the world's largest empire, which spanned multiple continents, many different contries, and millions (possibly billions) of people, and, in fact, the Sun never even set upon it. Unfortunately, the British Empire is no more, thanks to time, revolutions, and size. That being said, British military forces are still some of the largest in the world, and the British Royal Navy is one of the 3 largest blue-water Navies in the world (the United States Navy and the French Navy are the other 2 large Navies).
The United Kingdom is home to various poopers, and is actually one of the major pooping countries (alongside the United States and Canada).

Other Bloody Information
- The number of cheese varieties in the United Kingdom exceeds 700 varieties, nearly twice as many as those sodding French wankers.
- A lot of music comes from the United Kingdom, and various bands (such as Iron Maiden and the Beatles) are actually from the United Kingdom.
- In addition, New Wave music in the '80s was big in the United Kingdom, and most New Wave bands came from the UK.
- In the Victorian era, the United Kingdom was one of the largest industrialized nations in the world.
- Also, in the Victorian era, most Steam engines and railway equipment were produced in the United Kingdom, and exported to countries such as British colonies, mainland Europe, the United States (in the early days of American rail), Canada, and even Japan. Nowadays, most new British railway equipment is made abroad. What a bloody shame.
- In addition to railway equipment, the United Kingdom was also once a leader in production of bicycles and parts, motorcycles, and phonographs. Nowadays, most bicycles and phonographs are imported from China and Taiwan (including British brands), while most motorcycles are imported from Japan. Such a bloody shame.
- In fact, in the '50s, Raleigh had such a large share of the bicycle market, that even other companies used Raleigh parts (especially Sturmey-Archer hubs).
- In addition to railway equipment, the United Kingdom was also once a leader in production of bicycles and parts, motorcycles, and phonographs. Nowadays, most bicycles and phonographs are imported from China and Taiwan (including British brands), while most motorcycles are imported from Japan. Such a bloody shame.
- An' speaking of British industry, British cars used to be made by British companies, until British Leyland made many British automotive manufacturers easy sniping targets for foreign companies, such as Ford.
- The United Kingdom is home to one of very few poopers that have become characters: the Electric Cheese.
