    we only have 2 names, England and Great Britain. United Kingdom refers to England, Scottland, Wales and Irland.
    But why we have 2 is still a mystery to me. "great britain" is probably a self-defence against anyone who complains about the food and weather here, oh and public transport.

    Because we're awesome.

    England, Scotland, Wales etc aren't really countries per se, they're more like US states but with a stronger sense of identity really.
    Britain = England, Wales, Scotland.
    Great Britain = England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland.
    UK/United Kingdom = England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland...and maybe all the other territories we own too, like Gibraltar and Falkland Islands.

    It may be wrong, but that's how I like to think of it

    Because we're the best country in the world, baring none, hence we need more than one name. Remember America - we made you.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    I love how we're the most arrogant nation on earth.

    ...excluding the French. Oh and the Germans. Americans too, really. And how can I forget Lithuania?

    It's just harmless fun, no-one is being upset by it, and diplomatically and economically, France, the UK and Germany are all on good terms which each other.
