| - The United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland and Germany (commonly known as the United Kingdom, UK or less often UKAG) is a large nation located mostly in northwestern Europe. The UK is a federal state comprising of numerous member states: England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Prussia, Malta, Flanders, Wallonia and various other German states. The nation is a constitutional monarchy under the House of Hohenzollern-Hanover. The country is ruled by a single parliament which meets in two places - the House of Commons meets in the Reichstag building, in Berlin, and the House of Lords meets in the Palace of Westminster, in London. However, each federal state has its own government - for example, Scotland is administered from Edinburgh. The Imperial Confederation has its headquarters in Heligoland, and includes the Crown Dependencies of the Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Cyprus. The United Kingdom is one of the most powerful nations in the world, and has retained some degree of control over the vast majority of its colonial holdings, through the formation of the Imperial Confederation - this includes Australia, Canada, India, and huge portions of Africa. The UK is a major player in European politics and is the world's foremost political power; on the economic level, it frequently swaps places with the USA and PRA as the world's largest economy.
