I remember correctly,Northern Ireland is considered a province of the uk where Scotland and Wales are actually countries whitin the uk. It's a bit in the name: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
I think the UN might consider them all provinces of the UK. But the reason Northern Ireland isn't included within Great Britain is because it isn't in Great Britain, which is the landmass comprising England, Scotland and Wales.
Northern Ireland IS included in Great Britain. Its the Republic of Ireland which ISNT
No, it isn't. Great Britain is often used synonymously with the United Kingdom, but it isn't the same thing. Hence the full title is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
Quite clearly if Northern Ireland was part of Great Britain, it would just be the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Maybe you should actually look stuff up before you contradict people.
well its not that far off a skull and crossbones.
shiver me timbers
