我想知道great Britan 以及Britan包括英国的哪些部分，特别是是否包括Northern Ireland，还有相关的背景资料

Great Britain is an island lying off the north-western coast of Europe, comprising the main territory of the United Kingdom (UK). Great Britain is also used as a political term describing the combination of England, Scotland, and Wales, the three countries which together comprise the entire island and including some outlying islands. ...

The word Britain is used to refer to* the United Kingdom (UK)* the island of Great Britain which consists of England, Scotland and Wales* sometimes the Roman province called "Britain" or "Britannia"

England,Scotland,Wales,这些都是大不列颠岛上的

Northen Ireland也属于英国，大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国嘛
