Only 22 countries have never been invaded by Britain

Amazing what you can count if you want to.<p>Norway is on the list. Why? Perhaps because the Royal Navy invaded Copenhagen (without setting foot on land), and the Danish king at the time considered Norway part of his domain. But Norwegians didn&#x27;t quite see it the same way (the declaration of independence was already being drafted).<p>Chile is on the list. Why? Perhaps because the Royal Navy beat the Spanish Armada, and then invaded Cadiz without setting food on land, and the Spanish king at the time considered Chile part of his domains? Or one of the other wars that didn&#x27;t involve British soldiers marching on Madrid. I wonder what the Chileans thought and how many of them ever heard of the hostilities at Cadiz.

Given this article and the number of surveillance cameras in the UK, I guess it&#x27;s safe to say that Britain is quite... invasive.
