I think the 13a plug is the only one in the world with a fuse.

Fused plugs do exist here in the US, most often seen on Christmas tree
lights (the ones that are made here, rather than the China-built death
traps) - they have a little trapdoor in them for fuse access (US plugs
are tiny in comparison the the UK's chunk-o-rama ones :-) and a pair of
fuses that are around 10mm in length.
