Great Britain, aka The United Kingdom
Great Britain and the United Kingdom are distinct. Great Britain is the
largest of the British Isles and does not include Northern Ireland; the
United Kingdom [of Great Britain and Northern Ireland] does.
For bonus marks, discuss the state of the Channel Islands and the Isle of
Man.
