Two largish islands, Britain and Ireland. But southern Britain was originally hundreds of tiny kingdoms which were all swallowed up into England, and northern Britain was divided into sort-of warring clans, who came together to form Scotland.
In Ireland, every county was a kingdom, until the British came and conquered all. But the Feinian Men rebelled against England, and only the six counties of Northern Ireland were still under Great Britain.

This, unfortunately, is a nonsensical question. "Britain" is an abbreviation for "Great Britain", a large island off the North West of Europe, and part of The British Isles. The British Isles is two large islands - Britain and Ireland and over 1000 small islands. The island of Ireland is divided into "The Republic of Ireland" and the small North East corner called "Northern Ireland." There have been many changes in the political make up of the British Isles through History but currently, Great Britain (which includes England Scotland and Wales) and Northern Ireland comprise "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and the Republic of Ireland is a separate, sovereign country. Some people in The Republic of Ireland dislike the term "British Isles" as it implies that Ireland belongs to Britain.
