I doubt that any imperial power has actually
outstripped the British Empire both is size
and duration.
And Lets not overlook todays European Union
with its own government, law and now
armed forces warily and perhaps greedily
eyeing... NAFTA.
It remains to be seen though which way
Britain will jump - will it adopt the Euro after
all or prefer the protection of Star Wars II
on offer apparently from US.?
Quizzically,
Bill.
