About the United Kingdom
Great Britain is a country with a rich history, unique culture and diverse natural landscapes. It consists of four historic parts: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, each with its own traditions. It combines ancient castles, majestic cathedrals and modern metropolises such as London, the world’s most important financial and cultural center.
Foggy Albion, as Britain is poetically called, is known for its variable climate, where frequent rains and fogs create a unique atmosphere. It is a place of harmonious combination of past and present: next to historical monuments such as Stonehenge and Westminster Abbey, the country is actively developing in science, technology and art.
As one of the most developed countries in the world, the UK attracts high living standards, salaries, career opportunities and a stable economy. According to the OECD, the average annual salary is $33,049, which is above the average for the organization’s countries.
An important part of well-being is the National Health Service (NHS), which provides quality medical care to residents of the country practically free of charge. Security, a developed legal system and a favorable social environment make the UK a comfortable place to live and do business.
The education system in the UK also deserves to be recognized. Universities such as Oxford and Cambridge are among the top ten best universities in the world, attracting students from all over the world. The education received here is highly valued and offers great prospects for career and personal growth.
Historically, Great Britain was a huge empire uniting different cultures and languages. Today the country remains a multicultural center where people with different traditions and religions coexist peacefully. London, Birmingham and Manchester are just some of the cities offering a rich cultural life, from museums and theaters to a variety of national festivals.
In addition to its cultural heritage, Great Britain is famous for its natural beauty. Mountain ranges, picturesque coastlines, green hills and national parks attract lovers of outdoor activities. Cornwall, Scotland and many other regions offer amazing landscapes that inspire and provide an opportunity to enjoy nature.
The UK’s excellent transportation infrastructure provides convenient travel within the country and beyond. International airports such as Heathrow and Gatwick connect the country to major destinations around the world, and an extensive rail and highway network makes travel within the country fast and convenient.
London remains an important financial center of the world, which attracts professionals, entrepreneurs and startups. Starting a business in the UK is quite easy thanks to a transparent registration system and numerous government support programs. A flexible tax system provides incentives for companies, especially those involved in research and development (R&D). New companies can count on tax breaks in the first few years of operation, making the country even more attractive for starting and running a business.
