4. United Kingdom

Like the US, the UK too is pretty influential economically, politically as well as culturally. The country is marked as the fourth-most densely populated country in the European Union. And although it follows a parliamentary democracy, it also has a constitutional monarchy. The UK has the fifth-largest economy, and it’s lifestyle ranks very high in the Human Development Index. Its influence on the world is due it’s colonial history in which at some point, the British Empire ruled a quarter of the world’s landmass.
