the land and the people of great britain
the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland (the uk) is the official name of the state which is situated in the british isles. thus, “great britain” is often the same as “britain” and refers1 only to scotland, england and wales. the “united kingdom”, or the “uk” includes northern ireland. it consists of four countries which are england, scotland, wales and northern ireland. you can see them on the map. their capitals are london, edinburgh, cardiff and belfast.
