The Great Compromise was constructed by the founding fathers to designate 2 Senators to each state in order to give them equal representation. This is different than the House of Representatives designated based upon population. Senators originally were elected by the state legislatures to represent their state governments at the federal government. By each state having 2 Senators it gives them equal opportunity to represent their state government.

Indeed it is a balance to the house of representatives. In order to not give favor to the larger states in Congress, a bicameral (two room) legislature was established. One room gets 2 reps (the Senate) regardless of how big a state is. The other room (House of Representatives) gets reps depending on population. More populous states get more representation. This is believed to be a fair way of ensuring proper representation of a states interest in Congress and the lawmaking and budgetary functions it performs.

Blighty... Ok, well I don't know about that one, but a friend of mine that moved here to the States around 5th grade used to refer to England, or rather the entire UK as the "Little Continent." Now, before anyone cracks wise, we're all well aware that the UK isn't a continent. The UK, is in fact part of the European continent, and European union for that matter. Land Masses do not really "break up" They are all just high and low points on the earths crust. The low points were filled in with water, and voila. Here we have the beautiful place that is the UK, and every other country in the world.

Original Answer(Just so you guys can see):

Middle Kingdom

My answer:

Though many people may think that china's nickname is middle kingdom, I would strongly disagree. Though the name literally translates to middle kingdom (Zhong（中） -> Middle, Guo（国）-> Kingdom, for a total of Zhong Guo（中国）, which is China), Nobody nicknames china like that. They call what is literally called middle kingdom in chinese, china. However, there are a few nicknames for china that stand for their national pride. They are as such: 华夏 (pronounced Hua Xia) and 神州 (Pronounced Sheng Zhou) which can mean divine, or if broken up Godly States (or provinces since it is china). Feel free to add more nicknames!!

I hope that I have not confuse any of you guys :)
