UK, England or Great Britain?

[QUOTE="cheesyjon"]

[QUOTE="Bitter_Altmer"] No its not.MindFreeze

What is, then? There's no England here.

England is more similar to a province within a country.. England is not recognized internationally as a nation.. Great Britian/United Kingdom IS.

Well...

UK (United Kingdom):

Its the country. It includes Scotland, Wales, England (see below) and North Ireland.

England:

Part of the UK.

Great Britain:

The main island.

(territory: the UK minus North Ireland)

I don't know what to call England. It's not a state and it is pretty much a country, but the United Kingdom is the real country, so I really have no idea what England is considered.

Does it have a separate Prime Minister or is the Prime Minister assigned for the whole UK?

If the later, then UK is the country. England is just part of it. Its just so happens that many people also refer to the country as England.

Turns out wikipedia refers to both the UK (collectively) AND England and the rest parts individually (Wales etc) as countries. Which is confusing.

Anyway to me it makes sense to call a country the UK since the "countries" the UK consists of are not separate or autonomous in a way so that they constitute countries.

This thread has been fun. Brining the European Union into this would further complicate things, I'm sure. :D

Is it my fault your country has never done anything? I'm sure you're an expert on the state of Delaware or another nobody state. Maybe all these names exist, as usual, for the Brits to feel important.X360PS3AMD05

Comprehending what exactly? The subject matter seemed to change as the thread went along so I sort of lost track. :P

I was hoping that you were referring to the England, Great Britain, United Kingdom issue because that's easy. :P

How many times haven't you said Holland when you're supposed to say the Neatherlands?Ensamheten
