The United Kingdom is the political style of the island of Great Britain, with its offshore islands, and the six counties of Nrthern Ireland. The terms 'states' is not appropriate to the United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) because the laws of government, and the designations of the various territories within the United Kingdom are quite different to the way 'states' exist and operate, for example, in the United States of America.
In simple terms, the four main areas that comprise the UK are
# England,
# Wales,
# Scotland, and
# Northern Ireland. However, the UK also includes some islands and island groups, and which may have their own forms of local government units.
The geographic term The British Isles consists of four principal political units:
# The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland # The Republic of Ireland # The Isle of Man (crown dependency) # Channel Islands (crown dependency) The Republic of Ireland (Eire) is a State in its own right. It is not part of the UK.
So the differing political, geographic, legal and popular uses of various names for those islands and parts of islands off the north-west coast of Europe can be quite confusing, so precise definition and consistent use of correct terminology is essential in understanding what is being referred to.
In a similar way that the United States is divided into various states, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are also divided into geographical/administrative counties, each with their own councils and administrative, and to some extent legislative, authority.
Of course, these counties are much smaller than the individual 'states' that make up the United States of America.
