Literally the absolute zenith of human civilization, destined to inherit the stars.
- Single-handedly kickstarted the Industrial Revolution, exponentially speeding forward human civilization (went from horse carriages to landing on the moon in 200 years post-Revolution, meanwhile went from wagon to horse carriages in the 8000 years before that). Before the Industrial Revolution, every country on Earth was capped at a GDP per capita roughly equal to $600 today dollars).
- Controlled a combined 70%+ of global GDP and 80%+ of global industrial output at the combined peak of the British Empire and the United States (of which 85%+ were of British Isles descent and was culturally near-identical to Britain)
- Controlled territory on every continent, over half the world when accounting for the British Empire at its territorial zenith, combined with the United States
- Landed the first man on the moon through its successor empire, the United States
- Could always defeat the next two strongest navies on the planet, first through the official "Two-Power Standard" of the Royal Navy alone, then post-WW2, the U.S. Navy enjoyed an equally dominant naval position
- Controlled every key chokepoint on the planet at the height of the Royal Navy, including Gibraltar (dictating Mediterranean access), Singapore (dictating trade flow to East Asia), the Suez Canal (dictating trade flow through Eurasia), the Panama Canal (dictating trans-Pacific movement), and South Africa (dictating trade flow around Africa)
- Lingua France since time immemorial, everybody speaks English in culture and business since Victorian Britain
- Most Nobel Prizes Ever, with the UK and US combined defeating the next five countries combined (Germany, France, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden).
- Best Genetics on the Planet, looking at those with mostly WASP/North Atlantid descent (Henry Cavill, Tyler Maher, Sean O'Pry, David Gandy, Oliver O'Connors, Ian Somerhalder)
