Most of us when we hear anything related to Great Britain or England, often mistake them to be the same place geographically but the truth remains that they are actually two or rather three different places if you actually take into account United Kingdom as well.
The United Kingdom is a sovereign state, which also consists of non-sovereign such as Scotland, Wlaes and Northern Ireland.
It is all a bit confusing at first but when you look at the whole thing on a map, it gets much easier to understand and a fact that needs to be kept in mind is calling people from Ireland or Wales or even Scotland, ‘English’ could actually be a dangerous thing.
