The name "United Kingdom" (there is no "s") refers to Great Britain and Northern Ireland. (The remainder of Ireland - which is not part of the UK is called the Republic of Ireland or Eire). The full name for the UK is the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland." Great Britain (normally abbreviated to Britain or the British Isles) is made up of Scotland, England and Wales. It is a geographical description rather than the name of a country.

Answer 13

No, the full title of the UK is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". So Britain doesn't include one of the four territories of the UK. However, normally the terms are used interchangeably. Northern Ireland has some unusual laws (e.g. People born there can either elect to have a British passport or an Irish passport.)
