Note that Northern Ireland is NOT part of Great Britain however, since Great Britain is the geographical name for the largest island of the British Isles. The terms ‘United Kingdom’ and ‘Great Britain’ have two entirely different definitions.
The United Kingdom is a political union made up of four constituent countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
