I do think it's laughable that Britain is preceded by 'Great'. That hasn't been true for quite some time now. Only a few weeks ago the whole country was paralysed by a few inches of snow!
Plus UK was never an empire as we never had an Emperor

I forgot about the United Kingdom!
So North Ireland is part of the UK, but not of Great Britain, because great Britain is only the name for the three "countries" of the Brittish Isle?
You are United Kingdom on my world atlas. But you play as Britain in the Olympics and perhaps motorsport. What the hell? So Gibraltar is part of the UK? But not Britain? And not England? And then why does North Ireland get a national football team, but not Gibraltar.
I have an idea. Give Gibraltar to Australia so that we can play in Europe? It works for Turkey with Istanbul. And for Russia with Moscow. Those two countries are part Asian, part European. (And then Australia could be part Europe, part Asian, part Oceanian, with the Yanks ruling us. No wonder why they love us!
