The UK is a nothing burger. Their economy is small and failing. Their military is non-existent. Fun fact, their entire army could fit in a Soccer Stadium. It took them 3 weeks to deploy a single Destroyer in response to the Iran War, and that 1 single Destroyer has now broken down.

The reason UK currency is so confusing in literature is because they used to have a non-decimal system. Whereas we have a system where 100 cents makes a dollar (simple), their old system had 12 pence (pennies) in a shilling and 20 shillings in a pound. How confusing!!
