━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

GREAT BRITAIN, UNITED KINGDOM

Dans l'usage courant, il est fréquent d'employer les mots Britain ou England pour désigner l'ensemble du Royaume-Uni, mais cet usage est impropre.

La Grande-Bretagne, Great Britain ou Britain en anglais, est, strictement parlant, un terme géographique. Il désigne la plus grande des îles Britanniques et englobe donc l'Écosse et le pays de Galles. Avec l'Irlande, l'île de Man et les îles Anglo-Normandes, la Grande-Bretagne constitue les îles Britanniques ou British Isles, qui sont également une notion géographique puisqu'elles comprennent deux pays: le Royaume-Uni (capitale: Londres) et la République d'Irlande (capitale: Dublin).

Le Royaume-Uni (de Grande-Bretagne et d'Irlande du Nord), en anglais United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) ou UK, est la désignation officielle d'une entité politique. Ses citoyens sont des Britanniques.
