Well when I looked it up on Wikipedia, this is a list that I found, plus five others not listed on the list, but mentioned. And the British Empire wasn't the only empire which the sun never set on in its hayday . . . and it wasn't the largest in terms of total % of the global population . . . or controlled land mass either.
I won't vote, as the poll originator, until the last day, or near to that.
But I'd love to know why the British Empire has gotten so many votes . . . so far.
