UNITED KINGDOM The United Kingdom, the dominant industrial and military power of the 19th century, is also known to be a nation where many immigrants, especially Indian have made their fortunes. Being India's former ruler, there are numerous similarities in the two nations' societies. UK has a variety of climatic regions ranging from bitterly cold in the north to pleasant in the coastal regions. It boasts of acres of rolling lush green valleys in the famed English countryside on one hand and a bustling metropolis like London - the once commercial capital of the world - on the other. UK has long had a formidable reputation for having one of the best educational systems in the world, both public and private and some of the leading universities in the world, Oxford and Cambridge being prime examples. High standards of living ensure that UK is a leading choice among immigrants and being a former colonial power also means that a number of features in the British legal, judicial and administrative systems are similar to those prevalent in India.
