Have you ever looked inside your passport (assuming you have a British one...)?
Thankfully for the next few years at least mine is burgundy and mentions the European Union.
The passport contains a number of pages with designs which include features of the United Kingdom. My old passport was a special design.
This was introduced in 2010. (PDF download)
The design theme was called ‘Scenic United Kingdom’ and includes images of well-known landscape scenes, including the White Cliffs of Dover, the Gower Peninsula, Ben Nevis and the Giant’s Causeway.
There are also weather symbols on the pages, familiar from the weather forecast on the BBC.
In 2015, this was changed to a design which included British engineers and inventors who had given the world something important. They are listed in the document here. This is the one I have at the moment.
The more recent passport design is outlined here.
This Dezeen page also outlines some of the security features of the new passport, which appear under UV light.
It shows some of the designs of other country's passports, many of which also include landscapes. I love the Norwegian passport design.
