It's curious that the stats show "Great Britain" instead of "United Kingdom" so I'm not sure if Northern Ireland is included
HERE as Great Britain, as far as I know the Great Britain is England, Wales and Scotland while the United Kingdom is the Great Britain plus Northern Ireland.
It is also confusing that we have and entry as "European Country" with the European Union flag while at the same time we have many countries from Europe that are also part of the European Union
Great Britain again apart from Europe??
Of course Northern Ireland is included in Great Britain and is part of Europe.
The Republic of Ireland is part of Europe but is independant from the UK since declared on 24th April 1916 .
1. a monarchy in northwestern Europe occupying most of the British Isles; divided into England and Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland
(synonym) United Kingdom, UK, GB, Britain, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
So Great Britain and United Kingdom is the same?
As far as I know it is as I mentioned
Great Britain: England, Scotland and Wales
United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
BTW, I never mentioned Ireland as parte of either GB or UK
