In that case, it should be "BE" which stands for "British Empire".

Jokes aside, there are some authors who speculate on conspiracy theories about Great Britain as a puppet master of governments. Russia, they say, is a "cryptocolony" of the UK (among other "cryptocolonies") at least since the murder of Emperor Paul I (1801). And there are ppl who listen to them, believe them and spread this astonishing knowledge.

I take this as a some kind of mental disorder like folie à deux. When persons that have some level of education face psychological distress, they sometimes start ruminating and become obsessed with bullshit ideas like the Templers, Priory of Sion, Reptiloids and Planet Nibiru etc.

I think there was some old sci fi story where it turned out the entire universe had been created by Queen Victoria who was really an alien or something like that. The keymap file is called UK anyway: /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/uk.map.gz
