What is Britain ??
A continent or a country ??

The United Kingdom is a union of 4 countries England, Scotland, Northern Island and Wales.

They are all have their parliament and leadership structure, but each of Scotland, Northern Island and Wales have devolved different levels of power to London with Scotland having maintained the most power and Wales the least

Great Britain usually refers to 3 out of those 4 countries which are England, Scotland and Wales and they form an island

To confuse further, people think Britain refers to England but it actually refers to England and Wales.

That's why the passport says The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Great Britain becomes the UK when you add Norther Ireland which is part of a seperate island.
