I'm confused about this. If America broke off of England, then why is England a small country in Europe and America is a huge country in the West? Or was there an England and now there's a United Kingdom, or are they the same thing? What is the difference in England, Britian, and UK? If you're from England, are you British? Why? I need your help history majors!

England = Country.
UK = England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland
Britain/Great Britain = England, Scotland, Wales.
We are also a separate country, much in the same way Texas is from the rest of the USA.

To most, it generally means the entire British Isles. England and Britain are synonymous for all intents and purposes.
