Great Britain is not a state, or a country or a nation.

It is an island - one of the two large islands which make up The British Isles along with over 1000 small offshore islands.

Great Britain is the island which contains England Wales and Scotland and these, together with a part of the other large island known as Northern Ireland, and most of the small islands, make up The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a sovereign state and is represented as such in the United Nations. It is comprised of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, all of whom would describe themselves as countries within the United Kingdom. Yes, I agree, it's confusing.

No. Great Britain describes the landmass that consists of two countries, England and Scotland and the Principality of Wales. Great Britain is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which is commonly just referred to as the UK.
