Are you ready to be amazed? The United Kingdom, an island nation, is surrounded by four different oceans or seas. It\'s made up of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. But that\'s not all, folks. Britain is one of the few countries left in the world governed by a constitutional monarchy, and Queen Elizabeth II is currently the longest-serving monarch in recorded history! With a population of 66 million people, the UK ranks as the 78th most populous country in the world.
