Royaume-Uni

Le Royaume-Uni , en forme longue le Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d'Irlande du Nord , est un pays d'Europe de l'Ouest, ou selon certaines définitions, d'Europe du Nord, dont le territoire comprend l'île de Grande-Bretagne et la partie nord de l'île d'Irlande, ainsi que de nombreuses petites îles autour de l'archipel. Le territoire du Royaume-Uni partage une frontière terrestre avec la république d'Irlande, et est entouré par l'océan Atlantique au nord, la mer du Nord à l'est, la Manche au sud, la mer Celtique au sud-sud-ouest, la mer d'Irlande au sud-ouest et les mers intérieures de la côte ouest de l'Écosse au nord-ouest. Le Royaume-Uni couvre une superficie de 246 690 km2, faisant de lui le 80e plus grand pays du monde, et le 11e d'Europe. Il est le 22e pays plus peuplé du monde, avec une population estimée à 65,1 millions d'habitants. Le Royaume-Uni est une monarchie constitutionnelle ; il possède un système parlementaire de gouvernance,. Sa capitale est Londres, une ville mondiale et la seconde place financière au monde. Le Royaume-Uni est composé de quatre nations constitutives : l'Angleterre, l'Écosse, le pays de Galles et l'Irlande du Nord. Les trois dernières ont des administrations dévolues, chacune avec des pouvoirs variés, basés dans leurs capitales régionales, respectivement Édimbourg, Cardiff et Belfast. Les bailliages de Guernesey, de Jersey et l'île de Man sont des dépendances de la Couronne et ne sont donc pas rattachés au pays. De plus, le pays comprend quatorze territoires d'outre-mer, disséminés sur plusieurs océans. Le Royaume-Uni est né en 1707, lorsque les royaumes d'Angleterre et d'Écosse s'unifièrent pour former le royaume de Grande-Bretagne, qui s'agrandit en 1801 en s'unifiant avec le royaume d'Irlande pour former le Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d'Irlande. En 1922, l'Irlande du Sud fit sécession du Royaume-Uni, donnant naissance à l'État d'Irlande, amenant au nom officiel et actuel de « Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d'Irlande du Nord ». Les territoires d'outre-mer, anciennement des colonies, sont les vestiges de l'Empire britannique, qui, jusqu'à la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, était le plus vaste empire colonial de l'histoire. L'influence britannique peut être observée dans la langue, la culture, le système politique et juridique des anciennes colonies. Le Royaume-Uni est un pays développé. Il est en 2018 la cinquième puissance mondiale par son PIB nominal et la neuvième puissance en termes de PIB à parité de pouvoir d'achat. Berceau de la révolution industrielle, le pays fut la première puissance mondiale durant la majeure partie du XIXe siècle,. Le Royaume-Uni reste une grande puissance, avec une influence internationale considérable sur le plan économique, politique, culturel, militaire et scientifique,. Il est également une puissance nucléaire reconnue avec le sixième budget de la défense le plus élevé. Le Royaume-Uni est membre du Commonwealth, du Conseil de l'Europe, du G7, du G20, de l'OTAN, de l'OCDE, de l'OMC, et membre permanent du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies depuis 1946. Le Royaume-Uni a adhéré le 1er janvier 1973 à la CEE, devenue Union Européenne, puis en est sorti le 1er février 2020 à la suite de la victoire du « leave » lors du référendum du 23 juin 2016.
