umm yes it is..


To be fairly technical the isle is Britain while the country is (corrected)"United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland" (that is to include the northern part of Ireland that is apart of the country)(egotistically named).
~
england, ireland, wales, scotland and nothern ireland
are acknowledged as states are to the US (making them not in anyway countries).
~
& as another technicality the finance district of London is technically a "Sovereign" City-State (AKA really small country).

sorry for the double post up there, thought my net acted up when it didn't :P

The Country: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northen Ireland (Which can be shortened to "Britain") is a country comprised of the old Countries of England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. Officially the name of the country is the "United Kingdom" - the areas inside are officially regions, although are still called Countries for tradition's sake.

I'm British, by the way :)



EDIT: "Egotistically named"? The name "Great Britain" was to symbolise the addition of Scotland to the previous "Britain" - (IE, "Major Britain" or "Bigger Britain" - it's some strange thing about word deriviations).
