The Isle of Man, situated in the Irish Sea, is a self-governing British Crown dependency positioned between England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Douglas, its capital, is the largest town and serves as the island's main hub for business and commerce. The island measures approximately 572 square kilometres in size and is known for its rugged coastline, medieval castles, and rural landscapes. The Isle of Man is culturally distinct, maintaining its Norse and Celtic heritage. Its Parliament, Tynwald, is claimed to be the oldest continuous parliamentary body in the world, dating back over a thousand years. English is the main language spoken, but a small minority still speak Manx, a Celtic language. The island is probably best known internationally for the Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) motorcycle races, a major event in the global motorsport calendar.

It also promotes itself as a hub for satellite and space businesses. The Isle of Man maintains its legal system, and while it's not part of the UK, it's British Crown dependency status means it falls under the UK's protection in terms of defence.
