The United Kingdom is a political union made up of four constituent countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom also has several overseas territories, including Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (usually shortened to the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain) is a country and sovereign state that lies off the northwest coast of mainland Europe. Its territory and population are primarily situated on the island of Great Britain and in Northern Ireland on the island of Ireland, with settlements on numerous smaller islands in the surrounding seas.

England, Scotland and Wales have formed Great Britain since 1707. Great Britain and Northern Ireland have formed the UK since 1921 (from 1801-1921 it was the whole of Ireland). People still refer to the 'British government' or 'British Olympic team' when really both cover the whole UK.
