None of the answers so far have been right.  England is a nation, like scotland, wales, and north ireland.  Each of these belongs to the state of the United Kingdom.  Great Britain refers not to the state itself, but the large island which includes england, scotland, and wales, but not north ireland, which is on the irish island.  The commonwealth is a group of countries which the british monarchy used to control in colonial times, including australia, new zealand, india, canada, etc.

I don't really understand what you are asking.  The United Kingdom is a completely separate countries from the United States.  Most American commercial web addresses end in ".com" and most British (UK) web addresses end in ".uk.co".

The United Kingdom is a country that consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In fact, the official name of the country is "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."\nGreat Britain is the name of the island northwest of France and east of Ireland that consists of three somewhat autonomous regions: England, Wales and Scotland.\n\nTherefore, England is part of Great Britain, which is part of the United Kingdom. The U.K. includes England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are not countries but the United Kingdom is. The remaining portion of the island of Ireland (that which is not the U.K.'s Northern Ireland) is an independent country called the Republic of Ireland (Eire).

Look in an atlas.\nOn the Physical map you'll see that the British Isles is an archipelago extending from the Shetland Islands in the North East to The Scilly Isles in the South West. There are about 6000 islands!\n\nPolitically, these islands are divided into:\n- The Republic of Ireland (the majority of Ireland);\n- The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.\n\nThe U.K. is made up of Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England. Each of these regions is semi-autonomous politically, and elect representatives (Members of Parliament) to the Parliament at Westminster in London.\n\nThe leader of the majority political party is the Prime Minister, who with a cabinet of Ministers, leads the U.K. However the Head of State is the Queen - though the sovereign has no power.

Of course they are different. Look at their societies; Northern have stronger economies, crime is lower, less corruption. Ironic, but it's the same in Europe as it is in north America. Criticise imperialism, but nations that were colonized by GB are better off today than countries colonized by France, Spain, Portugal, and NL. Good, uncorrupted government serves mankind well.

In many languages, at least in the vernacular, the word "English" is often interchangeable with "British".\n\nAnd the British confuse the issue with so many countries and names for them. We refer to Britain when we mean United Kingdom for instance. (For those who don't know, Great Britain includes England, Scotland and Wales, while the U.K. includes those three as well as Northern Ireland.)

I only say England, I think it's better to mention the countries separately when give out an address, it's more specific.

Great Britain is the Island on which the country of England is found, as well as Scotland and Wales.  These three countries, along with Ulster on the island of Ireland, are all part of the nation called The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, also known as the U.K. or the British Kingdom for short. The term "British Isles" refers to the islands of Great Britian and Ireland and all of the smaller islands surrounding these two.  Ireland is a separate country from the U.K.\n\nOkay, I think I've about exhausted this subject.
