Isle of Man, Crown dependency in Irish Sea, United Kingdom
The Isle of Man spans 572 square kilometers between Great Britain and Ireland, featuring hills, cliffs, and 160 kilometers of coastline.
The Tynwald Parliament began operations in 979, making it the longest continuous parliament in existence with unbroken legislative authority.
