United Kingdom

United Kingdom first participated in Edition 2, and has participated four times since. Their best result was winning the contest in the edition they debuted, Edition 2, with "Killer" by Valerie Broussard. Their worst result was in the edition they last participated in, Edition 5, where they came last place with "Things We Lost in The Fire" by Bastille. They have not participated since getting this result. They are so far the only country who has won and come last. In Edition 4, they became one of four countries to qualify past the heats, but be eliminated in the Andra Chansen round, meaning they didn't make it to the final.

Splitting rule
The United Kingdom is the only country to feature a "splitting" rule.

If the United Kingdom is not participating, any of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom (Wales, Scotland, England, Northern Ireland) are allowed to participate. If any of the four countries have already been confirmed to participate, the United Kingdom is not allowed to participate. So far, Wales and England are the only of the four countries to participate in the contest. These 5 countries are the only example of an instance where countries can be banned from participating in the contest.

In Edition 10, England got their first win, and the first time a country making up the UK achieved a victory. This sparked minor discussions on how Edition 11 would be advertised as "London, England" rather than "London, United Kingdom", however in the end England was selected due to it being their win in the previous edition.
