Geographically, the British Isles are the islands of Britain, Ireland and their off shore islands. Politically, they are the countries or nations of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and Republic of Ireland.

The two Sovereign States are:

(1) the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, often called the United Kingdom, or the UK (or sometimes, informally, Great Britain).

(2) Eire or Southern Ireland, sometimes just called Ireland.

Within the UK, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are usually referred to as countries. The Channels Islands (Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark) and the Isle of Man are not strictly part of the UK (or of the EU) but they are Crown Dependencies and are usually included in the term Britain.
Geographically, the British Isles are comprised of the two main islands of Great Britain and Ireland and all of their off-shore islands. Politically they are comprised of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
