Great Britain
Great Britain is a lovely small country located on an island north of mainland Europe. London is the major city not only for Great Britain but also for Europe and the world. London's financial markets plan an important role in the world economy.
Great Britain makes a wonderful vacation destination. Despite the fact that they have faced some tough times due to Hoof and Mouth Disease as well as Mad Cow Disease many tourists stay away. That is a shame and has led to many good discounts for those who put a little effort into research. (Check with the airline owned tour operators as many have good specials.)
Great Britain has a long history that includes imperialism. Through the efforts of many Brits many places around the world were settled. Some of the significant cities they helped to found include, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Great Britain is one of the world's leading powers. Much of what makes up America for example comes from British roots. The dry sense of humor and their strange sense of what football makes the British a wonderful people to know.
