Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻo UK mai ka ʻāina nui ʻEulopa e ka English Channel. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia ke aupuni ma kahi pae ʻāina i ʻike ʻia ʻo ka mokupuni ʻo Beritania me nā mokupuni ʻelua ʻo ʻAilana Nui Pelekane a me ʻIlani, me ka hui pū ʻia o nā hui mokupuni ʻo Hebides, nā Shetland, nā Orkneys, ka Mokupuni o Man, a me ka mokupuni ʻo Wight. ʻIke ʻia ka pūʻulu mokupuni ma ka hikina hema o Iceland, komohana o Nolewai a me Denmark, ma waena o ke Kai ʻĀkau ma ka hikina a me ka Moana ʻAkelanika ʻAkau ma ke komohana Hāʻawi ka UK i nā ʻanuʻu moana i Pelekiuma, Denmark, Palani, Kelemania, Netherlands, Nolewai, a me nā mokupuni ʻo Faroe (Denmark).
Me kahi kihi o 242,900 km², ʻaʻole ʻo United Kingdom kahi ʻāpana nui o ka nui o Sepania, a ʻoi aku paha kahi akahai ma mua o ka moku US o Oregon. I ka wā he ʻāina 'kupanaha', ma kona piko, ua hoʻonui ka Emepela Pelekane i hoʻokahi hapahā o ka honua.
ʻO ka hapa nui o ke kenekulia iwakālua i ʻike i ka maikaʻi o ke UK i kahe ʻia i loko o ʻelua mau Kaua Honua. ʻO ka hapalua hope i ʻike i ka luku ʻia o ka Emepela a me UK e hoʻoponopono hou ana iā ia iho i aupuni nui a me ka maikaʻi o ʻEulopa. Ma ke ʻano he ʻelima mau mea mau loa mai ka UN Security Council, kahi mea hoʻokumu i NATO, a me ka Commonwealth, ʻimi ʻo UK i kahi ala ākea ākea e hana me ka hoʻolālā ākea; ke ana nei i kēia manawa i ka pae o kona hoʻolaulea ʻana me ka ʻāina nui ʻEulopa (Brexit).
Eia nō naʻe kahi mea mai ka EU, ua hoʻoholo e noho ma waho o ka European Monetary Union a hiki i ka hoʻolaha hou ʻana. ʻO ka loli i hoʻokumu ʻia kahi pilikia koʻikoʻi ma UK. Ua wehe ʻia nā anaina kūloko me nā pae ʻokoʻa o ka ikaika ma Skotlandia, Wales, a me ʻIrani ʻĀkau i 1999.
ʻO Ladana ke kapikala kūlike ʻole o UK, a ʻo ia hoʻi ke kūlanakauhale nui loa o ka lāhui, a hiki i kahi lāhui, a ʻo kekahi o nā mea nui e kia nui i nā pilikia aupuni o ka honua, ka moʻokāki a me ka moʻomeheu. ʻO Lākana i kēlā me kēia hihia, ʻo ia ke kapikala kūhelu o ʻEnelani, ma Sekotia, ʻo Edinburgh ke kapikala, ʻo Wales ʻo Cardiff a ma ka ʻĀkau ʻĀkau ʻo Belfast ia.
Ua loiloi ka papa inoa UK 2011 i ka helu o ka poʻe noho ma UK ma mua o 63 miliona mau kānaka a ua ulu kēia i 67 miliona mai kēlā manawa i mua.
Malia paha ʻo ka pōmaikaʻi nui loa o ka hana pū ʻana ma United United Kingdom ʻo ia ka maʻalahi o ka hana pū ʻana. E like me ka World Bank, ʻo UK kekahi o nā maʻalahi maʻalahi o ka hana pū ʻana i nā helu mai ka nui o nā lāhui i ʻike ʻia ma ka honua. Aia kekahi mau puka hāmama i hiki i nā wahi like ʻole mai ka ʻoki ʻana i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana iā IT. Ma waho aʻe, nā palena e hoʻomaka ai i kahi hana ʻē aʻe haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ʻia me nā lāhui ʻē aʻe i hana ʻia ma ka Hikina a me ke Komohana.
ʻO kekahi wehewehe nui aʻe ma hope o ka neʻe ʻana i nā hana i loko o ʻEulopa ka loko wai nui o nā lunamakaʻāinana talena. ʻOiai, he ikaika hana ko ka UK ma mua o 30 miliona mau kānaka, ʻo ia ka lua o ka poʻe hana nui i ka European Union. ʻO ka UK kekahi o nā lāhui nui o ʻEulopa i manaʻo ʻia e hana maʻalahi i ka hana i nā makahiki he 15 e hiki mai ana. He kumu paʻa ka mea nui i ka ulu maʻamau o kāu ʻoihana i kēlā me kēia lāhui. Ma UK, ke holomua nei nā hoʻonui hoʻonui i nā wahi e like me ka ikehu, ka halihali, hoʻowahāwahā i ka papa, a me nā kamaʻilio hoʻolaha
