A fantastic country that once ruled the world (yes, literally) and is much cooler than the USA because it is older and cleaner. Also has amazing music such as Muse and Radiohead and Biffy Clyro and Arctic Monkeys and Mumford and Sons and Marina and the Diamonds and Florence and the Machine and so much more. However, none of this amazing music ever gets in the charts for long because music charts have been hijacked by chavs and their fake RnB which actually is badly disguised pop (see JLS). However, amazing venues still exist across the UK, the best including the Hammersmith Apollo, the Brixton Acadamy, The O2 Arena and many, many more. Even Wembley Arena has its merits, despite their 'confiscating staplers at Arctic Monkeys concerts' policy and the fact that I was hit on the head by a condom-balloon there.
Also very prevalent in the UK is clever people. Many students learn Latin and are teased mercilessly about it and amazingly avoid being 'binned' by jealous chavs.
The UK is incredible, and should be worshipped by all those people in the USA who think they're bigger than us.

Short for the United Kingdom which is a COUNTRY, not a faction. The CONSTITUENT COUNTRIES within the UK are England (Largest and home to the capital of the UK, London. London is also the capital of England.), Scotland (2nd largest, their capital is Edinburgh.) and Wales (Smallest constituent country, their capital is Cardiff).
People mistakenly believe that Northern Ireland is a constituent country, it is a province. The capital of the Northern Irish province is Belfast.
Ireland is an independent country, owning 5/6 of the ISLAND of Ireland. Its capital is Dublin.
Great Britain is the main island of the UK.
The British Isles is a collection of the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight and several others.
The UK is a sovereign country consisting of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Even though England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own "national" football teams, they are still part of the UK. UEFA and FIFA can't decide what is a country.
Any troglodyte Americans reading this, London isn't the only fucking city and not everyone is a posh cunt.
There are other amazing cities such as Birmingham, Cardiff, Gloucester, Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Edinburgh, etc. Most of the counties, provinces and constituent countries have their own accents aswell.
History:
The UK used to not exist and instead there were the Kingdom of England, the Kingdom of Scotland, the Principality of Wales and multiple kingdoms in Ireland.
Stupid American: Omg i wanna visit Edinburgh in England!!
Someone with more than 3 brain cells: Edinbirgh is in Scotland which is part of the UK, you fucking troglodyte.
American which now has 3 brain cells: My apologies for being stupid. Now I am an epic genius.
