The United Kingdom is a country that consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as several overseas territories. Great Britain refers to the island including England, Scotland but excludes Northern Island and the overseas territories. The United Kingdom is one of the most frequented locations within The Never-ending Story, especially its capital city of London where the Hall of Heroes is located within Elizabeth Tower (commonly referred to as Big Ben). The UK has a constitutional monarchy, the queen of which is now Queen Maeve. It was once part of the European Union before Europe fell under the control of Emperor Nyneve and the UK retained its independent sovereignty. In history Britain was formerly known as Britannia and was unified, along with all of Ireland, under King Arthur before he relinquished the throne to his son, Llacheu.
