Britain

No, because fuck Northern Ireland.


Really, NI isn't part of Great Britain, which is just England Scotland and Wales, but is a part of the United Kingdom

I have finally realized, why the knights say NI

huh...I guess.....I always assumed UK and Britain were interchangeable like US and America

As would most people who dont care about what the brits call their islands.

this will make it ALL clear

...Or, maybe not

Really? You people indulge this troll?

US and America are interchangeable?

what troll?
me?
I would assume US and America are interchangeable since everyone does it.
US short for United Sates which is short for United Sates of America
or just America for short...

Try harder.

but...I'm not....

2/10 would get trolled

You just saved me having to go on google, you have my thanks,

well fuck you too

N.I is part of the UK, not Britain.

that would just be a waste of Guinnes .

Great britain is the island, not the country

And what about Jersey, we're still part of Great Britain, everyone forgets the small ones

Since this went down well and some people still have questions, I made two more.

This one breaks down Great Britain, the biggest island of the British Isles.

This one breaks down Ireland, the smaller island of the British Isles.

I commend you for educating the FJ community on any concerns or misunderstandings

wat if u say england?

god I'm confused

CGP Grey. When you see the last picture, you will understand. Somewhat, at least

U WAT M8?

Is the Isle of Anglesey technically part of GB? I know politically its welsh

To be totally honest, I'm not sure. I think because it's an island it doesn't count as part of Britain, but the Menai Straight isn't that big

......looking it up on Wikipedia it says "Anglesey is the largest Welsh island, the sixth largest surrounding Great Britain and the largest in the Irish Sea."

So if you go by that saying "surrounding Great Britain" then it's not part of GB......but still Wikipedia is a dubious source at best. :P

The small islands are not a part of Great Britan.

Yeah I know, Hebrides, Anglesea, Isle of White and the Channel Islands are part of the UK. But it's a pain in the arse to colour in those individual islands when it's on that scale, plus people might not notice they were coloured in for UK/GB.

You can probably also notice the Isle of Man which isn't part of the UK or GB is coloured in red too because it's linked to Scotland.

Like I said before, I didn't want the pics to become too detailed. Just short and sweet. If you need a more in depth coverage of Britain, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, The British Isles and Britains Oversea Terretories, then a link has been provided a few times which is very good at explaining it all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10

Thats still wrong nigger, Great Britain is the island in which most of England, Scotland, and Wales are located in, but it does not include the islands that are part of England, Scotland or Wales. i.e. The Scottish Hebrides or the Island of the Clyde are not part of Great Britain, however your map depicts them as such

Yeah but it would have been a pain in the arse to just cut those off then fill them in for the particular circumstances. It's really to help with the Ireland and Northern Ireland confusion.

I mean the Isle of Man is also on there coloured in, even though it's independent.

Not to mention that the Channel islands are just completely non-existent.

My thoughts too, welcome to living in Jersey

I see your point. The best explanation on all the confusion regarding the British Isles, imo, is done by CGP Grey:

I was going to take ages and make a more detailed version with England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Great Britain, United Kingdom and British Isles maps.....but I didn't want my post to be "Now listen up children, this is a geography lesson."

Tried to make it short and sweet. :P

I'm not sure most people in the ROI would agree that they are part of the British Isles. Just sayin...

the thing is the Republic of Ireland is in the British Isles because it's a geographic title, not political. It's like Switzerland saying they're not part of Europe because they're not in the EU.

Yeah, my favourite as well.

Forcey fun time.

MFW "peepee friction pleasure"

couldn't be further away from scotland, I'm from the south of england

You got one thing wrong there...


Peep Show ain't American.

And the channel islands!

Great Britain is only the big island, so Northern Ireland and the Orkney and Shetland islands aren't part of it.

That would be fine if that was the case, but the tea drawing also shows the Scottish Western Isles, which by your description would also fall outside the definition of 'Great Britain'

Hey, I didn't make that tea-drawing. I'm just pointing out that Great Britain is the big island.

Us Northern Irish people don't even want to be part of your smelly Great Britain.

your riots seem to suggest otherwise.

It's Northern Ireland, the people rioting probably don't even know why they're rioting, we just like rioting.

So british not even british people understand my accent

You covered my town in blue...

I don't think anyone that browses this site could actually hold a conversation. Plus, I think if the mass of this site got together it'd go something like this:

"Hey faggot, you must be American, why are you so fat?"
"lol dumb nigger, I bet you dont lift."
"I browse funnyjunk, tumblr, 4chan, and facebook, I guess you could say I mastered the internet."
"dickbutt"

true, true
