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.

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).

OK - The United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland (The UK) comprises the United Kingdom of England, Scotland & Wales (Great Britain) along with Northern Ireland which was absorbed into the UK after the Republic of Ireland (Southern Ireland or Eire) gained independence from the British Empire.  Although part of the UK and therefore the same nation (since Acts of Union in c1300 and c1700), the English, Scottish and Welsh still maintain a strong national identity. Great Britain, which is England, Scotland and Wales is merely a geographical term used to distinguish it from Little Britain which is now an area of Northern France known as Brittany (we used to fight the French a lot for land back then...)\n\nHope that helps. Now i'm confused.....

The empire and the kingdom are forms of statal organization. First of all, in these days Great Britain is NOT an empire (it was in the past, it also had an colonial empire, etc.). UK comes form UNITED KINGDOM. Great Britain is more like USA = United States of America. USA is not an empire either, it is a federal state. Great Britain's form of government is the monarchy, form of statal organization is the kingdom.\n\nExamples of ancient empires: The Roman Empire, The Greek Empire (of Alexander the Great), The Persian Empire, etc.\n\nMedieval-Modern empires: Ottoman Empire, Russian Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire.\n\nthe EMPEROR rules over an EMPIRE (= many states ruled by one person (it is not the case for USA; it is a federal state))\nthe KING rules over a KINGDOM: only one state, how's form of government is the monarchy.\n\nHope you understood. If not, ask me further.\n\nGood Luck!

The United Kingdom is composed of Great Britain and Northern Island. \n\nGreat Britain is the island land mass that includes England, Scotland and Wales, all of which were once separate nations. England comprises the southern and middle part of the Island of Great Britain, with the exception of Wales in the southwest. The northern part of the island is comprised of Scotland.\n\nNorthern Island, is, well, the northern part of the island of Ireland and is part of the United Kingdom. The southern part is the Republic of Ireland.\n\nIt's called the United Kingdom because it is the union of the formerly separate kingdoms of England, Scotland, the principality of Wales and part of Ireland.  The crowns of England and Scotland were united following the death of Elizabeth I when her nephew King James of Scotland also became king of England. The crowns have been united ever since. Wales was conquered by England long before that and the English had exercised over lordship of Ireland off and on for centuries until the southern portion managed to break away and form its own country.\n\nContrary to some of the answers above, Britain's overseas territories (such as the Falklands and Bermuda) are not technically part of the land of Britain, though their people are British subjects. Those places are considered part of Britain's "territories and possessions"

Corporatization in many nations is understood to refer to a form of economic reform which takes services from the direct control of the government, and places them in the control of government-owned corporations. This is often seen as a step towards full-scale privatization.\n\nIn the United States, the term is used differently. Given American traditions of respect for individual rights, the term privatization will usually suggest transference of public goods or services to private individuals. Therefore, in the United States, corporatization refers to privatization resulting in corporate ownership and/or control.

It is propaganda from the War of Independence, basically.\n\n If you live in the US, you are a citizen, in the UK you are just a "subject of The Crown".\n\nIn the US there is no class system (not that there is so much in the UK anymore, but there used to be)...\n\nFreedom means different things to different people at different times. For example, during the Cold War, people in the US had the right to freedom of speech, and in the Soviet Union they had freedom from hunger.\n\nThe brave bit? well thats just pure Hollywood

A national corporation does business throughout a country. It can be publicly or privately held. A private company is privately held, not owned by stockholders. There's really no way to compare the two.
