Before I mention wherever the tourist spot in United Kingdom are, I would like to give you an overview about this country. The United Kingdom (UK) or Britain which is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, is a sovereign state located off the north-western coast of continental Europe. The country includes the island of Great Britain (a term sometimes loosely applied to the whole state), the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland, and many smaller islands. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that shares a land border with another state: the Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border, the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea in the east, the English Channel in the south and the Irish Sea in the west.
This country has been a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council since its first session in 1946. It has been a member of the European Union (EU) and its predecessor the European Economic Community (EEC) since 1973; it is also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Council of Europe, the G7, the G8, the G20, NATO, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and theWorld Trade Organization (WTO).

Nowadays, The United Kingdom is a developed country and has the world's sixth-largest economy by nominal GDP and eighth-largest by purchasing power parity. It was the world's first industrialised country and the world's foremost power during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The UK remains a great power with considerable economic, cultural, military, scientific and political influence internationally. It is a recognised nuclear weapons state and its military expenditure ranks fourth in the world.
Regarding an issue about affiliated country of United Kingdom, a referendum on independence for Scotland will be held in September 2014, just over 300 years after the 1707 union with England that laid the foundation for today's UK. The authorities in London have promised to respect the outcome of the vote, which was agreed after negotiations with a strongly pro-independence government in power in Scotland since 2007.
