United Empire Club

The United Empire Club (UEC) is an English gentlemen's club. It was formed in 1904 to maintain honourable traditions and the aspects of society that represented the highest standards of behaviour. In particular, its members were asked to be charitable, and were judged internally on their qualities of being noble, gentle, fair, honourable, and decent.

The club, due to the nature of its high-profile nobility membership, operated very privately. Historically, the membership came from noble families from many countries including United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Russia, Japan, and the Eastern European countries. Over the years, the members have supported many good causes and worked with the likes of the London Guilds, to ensure global unity and humanitarian good.

There were periods of dormancy when the membership operated less publicly.
