About The UK

The United Kingdom,(The UK), is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy with Elizabeth II as 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. As a direct result of the empire, British influence can be observed in the infrastructure, culture, sporting preferences and language of many other leading countries all over the globe including Australia, Canada, New Zealand 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. It is a developed country, with the fifth or sixth largest economy depending on source.
