The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK), often referred to as the United Kingdom (UK), has a population of over 65 million, with the English (Anglo-Saxons) being the main ethnic group, accounting for 83.9% of the total population.
From the 18th to the early 20th century, the UK ruled territories across seven continents, becoming the most powerful country and the largest colonial empire at the time, known as the "Empire on which the sun never sets" due to its vast colonial territories.
In August 2018, M-Lab ranked the UK 35th globally in broadband speed. |
