The geographical term "The British Isles" encompasses the islands of Britain, Ireland and all the surrounding Islands, including the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, the Hebrides, the Orkney Islands, the Shetland Islands.
Politically speaking, these are divided into two seperate independent countries, The United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
The Isle of Man is a 'Crown Dependency' and has internal self-government.
