The UK is the center of Wikipedia.

Ever look up an article on Wikipedia and after clicking on different links find yourself looking at something completely different? If you started researching the United Kingdom, in a few clicks you could be anywhere.

On average it takes only 3.67 clicks to get from the article about the United Kingdom to any of the other 2,111,479 articles on Wikipedia. Strangely, the first runner-up for the title of "Center of Wikipedia" is former tennis pro Billie Jean King (3.68) followed closely by the United States (3.69).

And while rumor has it that everyone is 6 degrees of separation away from Kevin Bacon, the average Wikipedia page is only 3.98 clicks away from him.
