#' Gross Domestic Product of the United Kingdom over a millenium
#'
#' An estimate of the real GDP of the United Kingdom over about 7 centuries. "Real"
#' means adjusted for inflation. Take such estimates with a large amount of salt, since
#' pre-industrial era data is very limited and because the components of GDP change substantially
#' over a few decades, let alone a few centuries. Also, the name `UK_GDP` is anachronistic,
#' since for most of the record is before the UK was created as a political entity.
