Bottom line: It wouldn’t be the British Commonwealth without, well, Britain. Though the U.K. has tried to convince everyone that it is just one of the countries of the Commonwealth, it’s obvious that this is simply not the case.
For one, most of the other members are its former colonies, and several still have the king as the head of state. It’s easy to see that the U.K. certainly dominates the Commonwealth and enjoys more influence than other countries within it, though this has been steadily shifting and changing in the last few decades.
In terms of tourism, the U.K. is one of the most popular countries in the world, and with good reason. London is an international cosmopolis, a place where history and modernity coexist in perfect balance. The country still has peaceful rural towns where rolling pastures meet large lakes. Scotland also offers beautiful architecture and rugged nature.
