Great Britain is the whole Island. England is one part of the island. Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales.

England is a country so are Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. The rest of Ireland is the Republic of Ireland (Eire).
People from Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England hold British passports (but the 4 kingdoms are cited inside) and their nationality is British. However, the majority will term themselves Scottish, Irish, Welsh or English.
It's the same situation in the United Arab Emirates where each part is a small Sheikdom (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) but all are called Emiratis and hold an Emirati passport.
