ABOUT EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom or UK, and officially the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a constitutional monarchy located on a group of islands in Western Europe. Existing since 1707, in the Street Fighter series, it features stages set in England, Scotland, and Hong Kong (until and before 1997, Hong Kong was a part of the United Kingdom and Colonies and was a British Dependent Territory). Many significant characters have hailed from the UK, most notably Cammy. The country has been in Street Fighter, Super Street Fighter II, the Street Fighter Alpha series, the Street Fighter III series, the Street Fighter IV series, and in Street Fighter V. The capital and largest city in the country is London. The country's primary official language is English, but other major languages include Scots, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic and Irish.
Trivia
Stages set in the UK follow two distinctly diverse aesthetic approaches: being set in either fairly grotty, run-down areas (mostly due to being Birdie's home stages) or glamorous, historic and/or classy locales suitable for Cammy, Eagle, and Dudley.
