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 [[Ship|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 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.
