I'm from UK, and we still have a class of people believing the empire is still alive and well. They are called the Brexiteers. They believe England can rule the world again, despite the fact India (yes, India, that ex-colony) recently overtook the UK as the fifth-biggest economy. UK is now six. Ask a lot of people that, and they won't believe you. INDIA!!! They will say. INDIA!!

Great piece.
