Great Britain is synonymous with Britain. It refers to the island of Britain, which is made up of three countries, England, Scotland, and Wales. The United Kingdom is the government of theses distinctly separate, but united countries. The United Kingdom also governs Northern Ireland. You can make a comparison to the UK and England/Scotland/Wales to the US federal government and US states, but it's not the same relationship.
