The United Kingdom is a unique place. Because of its singular structure as a country with four different nations within it, there is no universal term for a citizen of the United Kingdom that is well-known. Therefore, people still retain the nationality of the nation that they live in. For instance, people from Scotland typically identify as Scottish, not as a UK citizen. Additionally, the United Kingdom is home to some fairly strange laws. One such law states that it is illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas, and another states that it is illegal to hang your laundry to dry out in public. These laws make the United Kingdom even more interesting for those who do not live there.
