Summary/Abstract: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a sovereign island state in Western Europe, crossed by the Zero meridian which consists of archipelagos in the eastern North Atlantic, consisting of the main island, Great Britain, which has a smaller area than Romania. , and the entire archipelago has a slightly larger area than Romania. But it is much larger in population, economy, finance and military strength. The real strength of the UK lies in the international political and economic organization of the Commonwealth, the successor to the British Empire, which brings together 54 sovereign countries and many dependent territories on all continents, being much larger than the European Union.The remarkable personality of the current Queen of the UK and the entire Commonwealth, who managed with tact and determination to lead this gigantic ethnic conglomerate was the binder that united a third of the countries, peoples and economies of the planet. Britain lost the Empire, but won the Commonwealth, so it retained a leading place in the world.Lately, in anticipation of the change of the sovereign of Great Britain, a series of forces are launching campaigns to denigrate the British monarchy. It is possible that the secret services of the various powers will focus on discrediting the future English monarch in order to destroy the Commonwealth.
