Best Answer

There are two large islands, Great Britain and Ireland, as well as numerous smaller islands. The latter include Anglesey, the Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, and groups such as the Orkneys, Hebrides and Shetland islands. There are two countries, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland. The UK has four main parts: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but these are not countries as in 'members of the United Nations in their own right'.
