on this bop serve officers from many different countries, and they are
all able to cooperate with each other. only those from england are
unable to cooperate with the rest.

while the alien vessel was scanning the earth, it wasn't able to
locate uk ; because of this reason it returned to its planet and
obtained new scanners. these new scanners were more powerful than the
old ones.

always this alien, as soon as he visited earth he married a woman ;
now, many women wait for him in each country, however his english
women are the most numerous of them all. obviously, he likes english
women a lot..

became mad and because of this reason in order to retaliate they run

back away from him.

will be able to live together.

If someone should ask why there are two names for the same country, I'd say that (1) it's not impossible for one country to be referred to (especially in a language/culture not of that country) by more than one name (Holland/Netherlands, for example), and (2) {wo' tay'} is an older name -- perhaps the Klingons who gave it that name were thinking of the British Empire.
