and it all started with the Saxon invaders!!!!

[darwin dali]

I think Britain should drop the 'Great' and be simply Britain. What about Great China? Great United States? Great Brazil? Great Russia? Great Canada? Great India? All by the way by far bigger than puny Britain

[Jabberwocky]

I do not think that Great Britain has officially been wrong since the Empire. Then it became the United Kingdom, but we have a queen, so why is it not United Queendom?

Plus UK was never an empire as we never had an Emperor

Well little "puny" Britain conquered "Great India", "Great Canada" and the "Great United States. to an extent".

That's the past - they lost everything, so lose that 'great' as well rather than hanging on to old glory that doesn't exist anymore...

You don't have to be ruled by en emperor or empress to have an empire. 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!

Damn it, now I'm really confused.

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! )

No because we'd have to call the 6 nations the 7 nations.

because you would cry if we didn't let you play

I am sure you do.

Empire - Emperor (Japan has an Emperor)
Kingdom - King (UK has a Queen (female King))
Principality- Prince (Monaco has a Prince)
