idk if it's useful but here's a quick thing explaining the mess of 'british' stuff because it really is a mess and can be super confusing

UK / The United Kingdom / The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - actual name of the country occupying nearly all of the isles (and currently the longest name of any country in the world), which is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

England, Wales (Cymru), Scotland (Alba), and Northern Ireland (Tuaisceart Éireann, or Norlin Airlann) are all 'countries' within the UK, but aren't countries in their own right. England is where the UK capital and parliament is located. There is no 'English' parliament as it's the UK/umbrella parliament, but Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland all have their own capitals and parliaments with some devolved powers.

(The Republic of) Ireland / Éire - the country occupying most of the island of Ireland. NOT part of the UK. Not British.

Isle of Man, the Bailiwick of Guernsey, and the Bailiwick of Jersey - 'self-governing possession of the British Crown'. They're not part of the UK, apart from sometimes when laws happen? Unsure. Guernsey and Jersey aren't even next to the UK, they're by France (and called the Channel Islands). I don't know enough to say more. They're usually forgotten about.

Britain - used to refer to the UK (but probably best to use 'UK' if that's what you mean)

British - used to refer to people who live in the UK*

Great Britain - will be used in things like the Olympics team (Team GB) but Great Britain is a geographic term, referring to the largest island of the British Isles

The British Isles - the geographic name for the collection of islands separated from mainland Europe by the North Sea and English Channel, extending up to and including the Orkney and Shetland Islands. Should very probably be renamed for obvious reasons.

British Islands - an umbrella term for the UK, Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey that's not really ever used by regular people, just adding it because it does exist and the Isles/Islands similarity doesn't help matters.

*If someone is from the UK, it should be okay to call them British (they'll correct you if they prefer to be called something else - some people from Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland might prefer to be called British instead of Welsh Scottish, or (Northern) Irish).

If someone is from the UK, do not call them English unless they've told you that they are.

London is the capital of the UK, as well as of England. If you're writing 'London, England' but would write 'Paris, France' in the same place if you were talking about the capital of France, it's best to use 'London, UK'.

Also these are contemporary terms, not all of them can be applied to historic situations/writing for varying reasons. In a few years this might be outdated anyway.

#my biannual sit-down to try and articulate the whole mess that this place is #not sasrh stuff #i really hope this is helpful #doing my best to explain for anyone who is curious

Subjugated by the British in 1801 (though attempts had been made for centuries before that, what with Ireland’s strategic position between Britain and the New World, and the Protestant British had taken up residence in earnest by 1601), the Irish first gained some self-governance in 1922 with the creation of the Irish Free State, with the northeastern six counties remaining part of Britain. The southwestern 26 counties officially became a republic in 1949, and as we all know, the division between the 26 and the 6 has caused a great deal of trouble - and still does to this very day.

Stamp details: Stamps on top: Issued on: November 21, 1949 From: Dublin, Ireland MC #108-109
