It has been the most humane one in history. It's shown that even with the most powerful army in human history it hasn't gone out and conquered people and it has attempted to do the right thing for billions of people.

Its measured in manpower, so obviously the British Empire isnt there (and seems to be also measured in mobilized manpwer, so British India didnt count as well)
Thats also why you have North and South Korea there

>The term was first used to describe nations with greater than great power status as early as 1944, but only gained its specific meaning with regard to the United States, the United Kingdom and its empire and the Soviet Union after World War II. This was because the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union had proved themselves to be capable of casting great influence in global politics and military dominance. The term in its current political meaning was coined by Dutch-American geostrategist Nicholas Spykman in a series of lectures in 1943 about the potential shape of a new post-war world order. This formed the foundation for the book The Geography of the Peace, which referred primarily to the unmatched maritime global supremacy of the British Empire and United States as essential for peace and prosperity in the world.
