The term you want is Great Britain - that is England/Scotland/Wales.
The United Kingdom is the union of Great Britain with Northern Ireland.

Dirch did not have his terminology wrong - Great Britain is the island on which are the territories of Scotland, England and Wales. The country is called "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", or more commonly shortened to "The United Kingdom". There is no way for Scotland to leave Great Britain as it is their physical location!(September 16, 2014 at 11:22 am)Chuck Wrote: Well, if Scotland were to leave Great Britain, it also leaves United Kingdom.But the United Kingdom would remain.
Consequently though you could no longer call your country "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" if part of GB is now an independent state, they would have to rename the country to "The United Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland" or "The United Kingdom of Southern Great Britain and Northern Ireland" something like that.
