A vaste majority of people on the planet do not see any difference between those, and can very well live with it. The rest are the Brits themselves and the people directly confronted with the problematic (politics, website designers who have to cope with country codes), who both know, forced or not, and the French, who give even less elephant about it than anybody else in the world. :-D

Then you have the British Isles... And what of Britain? That should include Brittany, in France.

The Channel Islands are interesting, Jersey and Guernsey have different statuses, despite having the Queen as their official head.

This part of Britain[^] is closer to where I live; sadly not permitted to go there.

Wait until you get to Wales - because it's a principality of England it doesn't have the same status as Scotland. The United kingdom therefore consists of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland rather than England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. On the plus side, in compensation for them being a principality, the heir to the throne is always the prince/princess of Wales. So that's alright then. And as for Devon and Cornwall putting jam and cream on their scones the opposite way around to each other...
