Great Britain, which consists of England, Scotland and Wales, can also be known as Britain, the Sceptred Isle, Britannia or Albion. The last term can now also be used to mean just England.

Great Britain and Northern Ireland together make up the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, both sovereign countries, make up the British Isles, a term that is starting to go out of use.
