I hope that I'm not intruding when I say, that just to clear things up:

YES, England is one of the three countries on the island of Britain. People often make the mistake that Britain IS England, mainly because the People FROM England chose the name "Great Britain" when they had dominated a lot of the world and thus created the British Impire; all of the dominated territories were ruled by the Kings and Queens of England. Once the impire started to erode, however, people started to call what was left of it just Britain. After a while, the countries that England technically still had power over started to get annoyed (mainly because the name "Britain" indicated English rule), so England allowed the name of the unity to become "the United Kingdom."

I think that I have my facts correct. I just hope that I don't offend anyone by my choice of words.
