The British Isles

Off the North west coast of the continent of Europe there is an archipelago known as The British Isles. This a geographic description rather than a political description. There are two large islands and over 1000 small islands.

The largest island is called Great Britain and it contains England, Wales and Scotland.

The other large island is called Ireland and it contains The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Political divisions

The island of Great Britain, plus Northern Ireland and some of the small islands make up The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (abbreviated 'UK').

The remaining larger part of the island of Ireland is the aforementioned Republic of Ireland.

Additionally there are the 3 "Crown Dependencies." of the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. These are semi-independent, they have internal self-government but international relations are the responsibility of the UK government. Jersey and Guernsey are usually not considered part of the British Isles as they are nearer to the French coast.
