England is one country/state in the United Kingdom, which lies mostly (but not entirely) on the island of Britain. From the Wikipedia entry:
Great Britain is an island lying off the northwestern coast of mainland Europe and to the east of Ireland, comprising the main territory of the United Kingdom. Great Britain is also used as a geopolitical term describing the combination of England, Scotland, and Wales, which together comprise the entire island and some outlying islands. Great Britain, and simply Britain, are used as informal names for the sovereign state properly known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. |

Great Britain is only the countries on the island (Wales, England, Scotland).
The United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland too. |

Great Britain consists of England, Wales and Scotland. UK consists of GB and Ireland together. |

I believe Great Britian is England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The UK is all of the above plus Northern Ireland. England comes under both titles naturally. |

England is a country within Great Britain, which is part of the United Kingdom.
1) England, when referring to just the particular country.
2) Great Britain when referring to the England, Wales, and Scotland.
3) United Kingdom when referring to the Empire, inclufding Ireland, the Isles, and British soverign holdings around the world. |

Great Britain is the actual islands. And United Kingdom is the whole thing, incl. the colonies.
I think! :-D |
