How powerful is the United Kingdom? It has an area of 242,000 square kilometers. It doesn't look like much, but did you know that at the height of the British Empire, Britain controlled about 24% of the Earth's total land mass, making it the largest empire in history. The modern United Kingdom has lost 99% of its former territories, but due to the leadership of the Commonwealth of Nations, it has retained the influence of the crown over such large sovereign countries as Canada, India, Australia and some African countries.
