Official Name: 

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 

People often confuse the names for this country, and frequently

 make mistakes in using them. United Kingdom, UK, and Britain are all proper terms

 for the entire nation, although the term Britain is also often

 used when talking about the island of Great Britain. The use of the term 

Great Britain to refer to the entire nation is now outdated; the term Great Britain,

 properly used, refers only to the island of Great Britain, 

which does not include Northern Ireland. The term England should never be used

 to describe Britain, because England is only one part of the island.

 It is always correct to call people from England, Scotland, or Wales British,

 although people from England may also properly be called English,

 people from Scotland Scottish, and people from Wales Welsh.
