United Kingdom

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (most commonly known as the United Kingdom or UK for short) is a sovereign country made of four countries: England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. It is surrounded by the North Sea, the Celtic sea, the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean, the only country it shares borderlands with is Ireland.

The United Kingdom is not the most popular Countryhumans character. However, his popularity grows by the minute, mostly for being known as the USA and Canada's father, two very popular/successful countries in the fandom.

The majority of the fandom recognises him as the USA and Canada's "bad but influential" father. He also has a female version, which is depicted as a mother to America and Canada. He is most typically seen as a male, however, the female version of him is rising in popularity.

Many people confuse him with England. England is a country in the United Kingdom, and does not represent the whole United Kingdom.

Appearance
He's is almost always seen wearing the stereotypical English three-piece suit composed of a white shirt with a red tie/bow tie and a black jacket. He also wears a monocle too. His choice of dressing is meant to represent the stereotype of English being posh and overdressed.

Personality
Posh, very fancy, obsessed with tea.

Interests
In most comics he has shown a fascination, or sometimes an obsession, for tea.

He also loves Bull dogs.

Flag meaning
The Union Jack is the national flag of the United Kingdom, it is used as an official flag in some of United Kingdom overseas territories. The Union Jack appears in the canton of the flags of several former nations and territories of the British Empire.

This flag has a blue background with a thick red cross that goes horizontal and vertical (St George's Cross) along with thin white lines around the cross. With the addition of a thin red saltire (St Patrick's Cross) with thin white lines around it (St Andrew's Cross).

In fact, the Union Jack is made of the combined flags of England, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Unfortunately, the flag of Wales is not represented because when the first Union Jack was created in 1606, Wales was already united with England from the 13th century. This meant that Wales was a principality at that period. On April 1606, a new flag was created to represent the royal union between England and Scotland, which the flag of England and the flag of Scotland are combined together. The present design of the Union Jack dates back from a royal announcement following the union of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801. The flag combines the aspects of the three flags: the red cross of St George to represent the Kingdom of England, the white saltire of St Andrew to represent Scotland and the red saltire of St Patrick to represent Ireland.

The Union Jack's colours features white, red and blue. White represents peace and honesty, whilst red represents hardiness, strength, bravery and valour; and blue represents vigilance, loyalty, perseverance and justice.

Opinions
"Note: This information is based widely off the most popular headcanon of the fandom. For every person this character's relationship with others will be seen differently. You do not need to use these canons."

France
France and the UK, despite breaking up, seem to be on more good terms nowadays. There was a long period of tension between them. They had a time in their lives where they would constantly fight and try to be superior to one and another. Nowadays, they think they made the right decision to break off. This hurt Canada quite a lot. France did regret leaving the UK to take care of Canada by himself. Nowadays, on the bright side they still try to hold maintain a ex-family-like relationship.

Canada
Canada is the United Kingdom's eldest son. His parents are the United Kingdom and France. The UK loves his son, despite maybe not being the best parent to him when he was younger. He didn't have a mother figure around and it hurt the UK. Despite all of the countless arguing and scolding, Canada grew to become a vastly successful country.

United States
United States; or USA, is the other son of the UK and Spain. The UK personally had a lot more trouble with the USA as every time he turned his back, him and Canada would be arguing. In the USA's teenage years, he and the UK would fight a lot. USA was very rebellious and decided he did not like what the UK was telling him to do. In fact, the USA even threw some of the UK's tea in the ocean, which he was absolutely horrified about, but they try to forget that moment happened.

Spain
The UK and Spain have a complex relationship. They were married and can sometimes be seen together, but in all honesty, the UK does not feel the connection with Spain as he did with France. Although Spain has not been interested in being with UK. He doesn't usually think anything of it, however, they do have a child together, who is USA.

Malaysia
Being both rebel and loyal towards UK, he still a good son. UK support Malaysia during WW2, Malayan Emergency and Confrontation.
