ok that's great in the real world but in the eworld Great Britain = FAIL
In all the days they've yet to do anything besides fail at taking countrys and backstabing there friends.
The electric light bulb= American
The underground railway=American
Football=American
The Harrier is a death trap, why would you be proud of it?
@Porsus
The Harrier is what gives the UK its striking capabilities. The Harrier requires very little runway. The UK has small carriers. So in the UK's case Harrier = offensive capabilities.

Shut up
The electric light bulb: Invented by Joseph Swan (English), then patented by Thomas Edison (who had been trying to make a light bulb that worked) in a deal with Joseph Swan, as Swan did not have enough money.
The underground railway: First, and biggest, built in London.
Football: Game invented in Britain, involving a spherical ball and two nets either side of a pitch.
The name 'football' was then given by Americans to a crude version of Rugby.
yea, however saint petersburg (leningrad) got the most beautiful and artistic metre networki guess
that's true
And RUGBY!
