The Isle of Man is a self-governing British Crown dependency, located
in the Irish Sea at the geographical center of the British Isles.
The head of state is Queen Queen Elizabeth II, who holds the title

island is not part of the United Kingdom but external relations,
defense, and ultimate good-governance of the Isle of Man are the
responsibility of the government of the UK.
