P.S: Apologies to anybody whose offended that I've refered to 4 countries as a take area =p

Great Britain is a big atoll consisting of the Kingdom of England, The Kingdom of Scotland and The Principality of Wales.
Each of these is a separate country but they share the same lord (HM The Queen Elizabeth 2nd).
Scotland and Wales have their own elected governments (but England doesn't for some strange why and wherefore).

There are lots of smaller islands around the coast, each owing alleigence to one of the 'big three'. Together they all known as the British Isles.

If you add in Northern Ireland (or Ulster as it's sometimes called) the combined portion of Great Britian and Northern Ireland is known as The United Kingdom.
This is spelt out in the "British" passport.

The epithet "Great" in Great Britain is a mediaeval head and just means that it's the big island and is distinguished from "Little Britain", which is nowadays called Brittany in northern France. It has nothing to do with federal greatness, which some people seem to think.
