The phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" has been used with variations to describe certain global empires that were so extensive that there was always at least one part of their territory that was in daylight.
It was originally used for the Spanish Empire, mainly in the 16th and 17th centuries. Its most notable use is in reference to the British Empire, mainly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. During this time period, the British Empire reached a territorial size larger than that of any other empire in history.
The phrase is sometimes used within the United States to characterize the influence of American politics globally.
In the early 16th century, the phrase, "el imperio en el que nunca se pone el sol" (the empire on which the sun never sets) originated with a remark made by Fray Francisco de Ugalde to Charles I of Spain (r. 1512 to 1556), who as king of Spain and as Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, had an empire, which included many territories in Europe, islands in the Mediterranean and Atlantic, cities in North Africa and vast territories in the Americas.
The empire on which the sun never sets is a term for particular global empires, the idea being that they were so extensive that there was always at least one part of their territory in daylight.
The Sun Never Sets is the third album by Australian hip hop band The Herd and was released on 3 October 2005.
The album was selected as the Triple J and 2SER 'Album of the Week' and was nominated for the inaugural Triple J - J Award for Australian Album of the year.
In October 2005, The Herd performed a cover of Redgum’s classic anti-war song "I Was Only 19" on Triple J’s ‘Like a Version’ radio program. The song became one of the most heavily requested songs on the station. The Herd's version of "I Was Only 19" was voted in at #18 in the 2005 Triple J Hottest 100 playlist. It was credited to Schumann, Cheung, Fellows, Harrison and Kennedy. A video by Broken Yellow was directed by Brendan Doyle and produced by Navid Bahadori included actors in roles as Australian soldiers, some actual Vietnam Vets including Frankie Hunt are also shown. An audio mp3 download by Triple J's Hack has reporter Ali Benton discussing the video, interviewing Doyle, Schumann and Hunt.
Liverpool Empire Theatre is a theatre located on the corner of Lime Street and London Road in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. The theatre is the second to be built on the site, and was opened in 1925. It has the largest two-tier auditorium in Britain and can seat 2,348 people. During its time it has hosted many types of entertainment, including variety shows, musicals, operas, pop concerts, and plays. The Beatles appeared in the theatre in their early days. The theatre has hosted two Royal Command Performances and in 2007, a Royal Variety Performance to mark Liverpool's being designated a European City of Culture the following year. It is sited in the William Brown Street Conservation Area.
History
The first theatre on the site opened on 15 October 1866 and was named the "New Prince of Wales Theatre and Opera House". It was at that time Liverpool's largest theatre. On 29 July 1867 its name was changed to the "Royal Alexandra Theatre and Opera House" in honour of Princess Alexandra, Princess of Wales. The theatre closed in 1894, but was re-opened the following year under the ownership of Empire Theatre (Liverpool) Ltd. In 1896 the theatre was sold to Messrs. Moss and Thornton for £30,000 (£3,100,000 in 2016), and renamed "The Empire". This theatre closed on 16 February 1924, and it was demolished.
Like much of the Warhammer setting, the Empire resembles a period of European history but with the addition of fantasy elements, such as the presence of magic and non-human races. Both visually and in geography it is based on Europe during a mixture of the Dark Ages, middle-ages & Early Modern periods. There are wealthy city-states that bear similarity to Hanseatic league cities, such as Hamburg, and place and character names are Germanic in tone; for example, the capital of the Empire is the city of Altdorf, which translates as "old village" and is the name of several real-world places.
The Empire is the largest and most powerful of all the nations of the Old World. The Empire is bordered by the nation of Kislev to the north east and the Sea of Claws, the World's Edge Mountains to the east, and the Great Ocean, Black Mountains, Grey Mountains, the land of Bretonnia to the west, and the Border Princes to the south. To the east, the Empire is threatened by the Orcs and Goblins. A large part of the Empire is heavily forested and large numbers of Beastmen can be found in the deepest forests.

Britannia, so the song went, ruled the waves, and for more than a century, much of the planet - in 1922 that was 458 million people, and 33,670000 square kilometres, one quarter of the world's population and total land mass.
But since World War II, the United Kingdom has been in terminal decline.
Today, Britain is a fifth rate military power, and a fifth rate economic force, a country that cannot even win at sports it invented - see cricket, rugby and tennis.

The Place Where the Sun Never Sets
There are some places in the world where the sun doesn't set for months or doesn't rise for months - leading to phenomena known as the midnight sun and polar nights. How do the people living in these places live their lives differently from those with normal day and night cycles and how does this affect the things we take for granted?

So what gives this faded island off the coast of Europe the right to act like a global power player? What is so great about Great Britain?
