I was talking this subject over with an Englishman last night, and he said that techinically Northern Ireland was part of Britain, but that it was a touchy subject.

It's The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

So, the The Great Britain=England, Scotland, Wales.....
then they through in the Northern Ireland because it is a separate entity, yes?
