UK
The UK is a country made up of other countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Particularly in the context of history, it’s often called Britain. It’s notorious for the history of British colonisation and imperialism. I visited in 2016 and felt curiously like I was visiting some far-flung part of Australia, but considering we’re one of the countries they colonised, that shouldn’t be too surprising! My own family background is also mostly British, and the cultural similarities are still present.
