The United Kingdom is a sovereign country in Western Europe featured in Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Summary
As an island nation, it is not connected by land to the rest of Europe, and can only be accessed by ferries or trains through the Channel Tunnel. It shares border with Ireland (via Northern Ireland), but it is not shown. The United Kingdom is different from most countries in Europe, as it is being one of the very few countries to drive on the left. The United Kingdom is home to one of the most northern territories in the game known as Scotland. In addition, the speed limit of 97 km/h (60 mph) on British motorways is the second-highest in the game behind Bulgaria and Romania tied, which have speed limits of 100 km/h (62 mph), and as other countries have speed limits of 80 km/h (50 mph) or 90 km/h (56 mph). It also seems to use imperial units instead of metric, making this the only European country to use MPH instead of KMH.
Much like Belgium among others, and some select places (especially in the Going East expansion), the United Kingdom's quality and freshness is alarmingly poor, especially when one takes a trip around newer map expansions such as Italia or Beyond the Baltic Sea. A must-mention fact is that the ETS2 map of the United Kingdom is imported from the UKTS one, and that may explain why it has a slightly worse look than Visegrád 4 countries.
| “ | One of the world's most powerful countries has an area of 243,610 square km. The capital city is London an important financial and cultural centre. Unlike most countries in the world, British traffic drives on the left. Also, miles are used instead of kilometres. | ” |

Cities
In Euro Truck Simulator (Gold Edition), only Dover, London, Manchester and Newcastle-upon-Tyne were featured, with the latter three having depots.
Later, SCS released UK Truck Simulator, and expanded the UK map to include more cities, including three Scottish and two Welsh cities. This map became the basis of the UK map in Euro Truck Simulator 2, where SCS made only minor modifications. Port facilities were added and a few locations were rationalized, resulting in 20 accessible British cities and towns (comparable to Germany in the original game), 4 of which with ferry (or rail) links to other countries. Interestingly, all port towns are in England.
