Great Britain: Politically, Britain is divided into three historic nations: England, Wales and Scotland. Geographically, Britain is the largest island in the archipelago of the British Isles. Its area is 229,850 km ². It is also the largest island in Europe and the eighth largest in the world. In population, is the most populous after Java (Indonesia) and Honshu (Japan). The name "Great Britain" comes from the Latin Britannia, used by the Romans to refer to a province roughly corresponding to modern England. The etymology of the term has been controversial, but generally it is thought likely to be a derivative of the word Celtic Britain ( 'painting'), since the inhabitants of these islands were painted skin. Britain is mostly used as a synonym for the political entity of the United Kingdom, which is incorrect, because the United Kingdom also includes Northern Ireland along with the three nations comprising Great Britain, and other islands, such as the Isles of Scilly , the Hebrides, Orkney and the Isle of Wight. Similar is the British use of the term used in reference to the UK. In Castilian, the use of Britain is limited to the name of the ancient Roman province. The abbreviation GB is also used in the United Kingdom in their vehicles following the International Code Vehicle Identification for Aliens and British Olympic team.
