Hmm.
Well, in my case, it seems to come up as "Royaume-Uni"!
I'll need to try to fix that. (presumably in my account settings...)

 That's the name in latin for the UK, I think.  Is it under name:la, and do you have your browser set to latin for some reason?

I was able to set Chrome to Latin, and your URL did indeed have "Britanniarum Regnum" for place:country.
But in Firefox, set to English (GB), it just displays as "United Kingdom".

I wonder how many users OSM has in Vatican City?  (Where the ATMs have a Latin option, IIRC)
