From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK, or as Britain) is a sovereign state located off the northwestern coast of continental Europe. It is an island country, spanning an archipelago including Great Britain, the northeastern part 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 constitutional monarchy and unitary state consisting of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It is governed by a parliamentary system with its seat of government in London, the capital, but with three devolved national administrations in Belfast, Cardiff and Edinburgh, the capitals of Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland respectively. The Channel Island bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey, and the Isle of Man are Crown Dependencies and are often not considered part of the UK, though they are treated as part of it for many purposes including nationality. The UK has fourteen overseas territories, all remnants of the British Empire, which at its height in 1922 encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface, the largest empire in history. British influence can continue to be observed in the language, culture and legal systems of many of its former colonies. The UK is a developed country, with the world's sixth largest economy by nominal GDP and the seventh largest by purchasing power parity. It was the world's first industrialised country and the world's foremost power during the 19th and early 20th centuries, 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 remains a major power with strong economic, cultural, military, scientific and political influence. It is a nuclear weapons state and has the third highest defence spending in the world. It is a Member State of the European Union, holds a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, and is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, G8, G20, OECD, NATO, and the World Trade Organization.

We'd need to rediscover coal and cast iron and bring a lot of poor peasants in off the land to work in the factories as well as have a powerful navy and some brilliant inventors and far seeing entrepreneurs but yes, it could be done, in a slightly different way from the first time. Except that Health and Safety, Human Rights issues and a natio of generally overweight, lethargic people wouldn't let us.

Unless you have at least a Masters degree and a high salary, you can't get a work visa on your own. But he can sponsor you for a fiance visa as long as you get married within 90 days of arriving Answered by unknown - Fri Mar 20 00:38:55 2009 How do I get my original deeds back, I like in the United Kingdom?

How do I get the original deeds back, I live in the United Kingdom ? Plus do this sound normal to you ? .Why would the council have my original deeds? Asked by johny - Sat Apr 4 06:52:12 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. usually your mortgage provider has the deeds, or sometimes your lawyer. The council wouldn't hold the deeds. If it is the bank or lawyer there will be a fee to retrieve them, if it is the council it is odds on they have lost them Answered by Tyler Durden - Sat Apr 4 06:56:59 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "United Kingdom" See also:
