Britain is a Sovereign state made up of Wales, Scotland and England. The superpower of the 19th century, Britain is still the fifth largest economy and owns (arguably) the 3rd most powerful armed force. Britain is home to almost 60 million people, 1/5th the size of the USA), or about the same as France and Italy.
Very small for it's population, Britain is one of the densest populated western nations. As the United Kingdom (including Northern Ireland), it is a member of the European Union.
Domestic problems in Northern Ireland have meant that Britain has had to deal with terrorism more frequently than most of its European counterparts. This issue has become less of a problem in the last 5 years, since the Northern Ireland assembly was set up and the IRA declared an indefinite cease-fire.
Once in possession of a number of Colonies, Britain now only holds a few smaller island colonies around the world.
Britain closest ally is still the USA, which it has held a special relationship with since the early 20th century.

Get the britain mug.A place Justin Beiber got (mentally) kicked out of. First he was bared from Manchester's Sankeys, and then he fought a camera man. Lucky for Justin his bodyguards prevented him getting frimponged by putting him into his baby-seat in the back of the car Justin was using to get about the UK.
Canadian: "Where did Justin Bieber get kicked out of again?"
British Person: "It was Britain, HAR HAR"
Canadian: "HAR HAR, THAT IS A FUNNY THING!"

Get the International Fuck Britain Month mug.aka England.(to the very ignorant)
aka Chavland. (to the British)
aka Scotland. ("Fucking Britain! I'm fucking scottish" said jock)
Now im not writing this defination to boast about how great, britain is. All of you already know about this and the name of Great Britain further emphazises the greatness.
I am also writing this to give misguided souls a true discription of Great Britain and to spell out common misconceptions.
Misconception
No 1: Britain and England are not the same thing.
England is England. Are we all catching that?
Great Britain is England, Scotland and Wales.
No 2: Not all British look like the "back end of a bus" (ugly)
Apart from myself and Price Charles that is.
No 3: Tony Blair is not a Wanker.
He is a tosser. (To the non-britons and idiots among you they are both detrogatory comments)
No 4: We dont all have crumpets at tea time.
Scones are favoured accompainment to a lovely Earl Gray.
In this short space of time you have now grown accustomed to Britain's traditions. I will now provide a translation for tourists on holiday to sunny Britain;
football = soccer
oh bollocks = oh shit
a bit of crumpet = a good looking girl
arseholes = assholes or alternatly the french
french = frogs or dirty bastards
"Come on them!" = "you my friend are ever so obnoxious and now you feel my wrath with the old traditional british duel. Jeeves fetch my dueling pistols!"
I am sure all of you will agree that these translations will certainly allow you to communicate more fluently with the average Briton. May i also add the last phrase; "Come on them" works most effectively with a cockney, scouse, brummy, geordie or scottish accent. Don't say it in the queen's english you will sound like a ponce.
I now come to end of my explantion for now i bid you farewell. And may God (who is British) jolly well bless you old chaps.
(I wonder if anyone has a sence of irony or pathetic fallacy)

Get the little britain mug.Hard Hittin' New Britain. Huge town, but if you ask many who live there, they will say small, because word of mouth spreads EXTREMLY quickly.
Broad Street is the center of Polish life. Club Arkadia is the 'place to be' Saturday nights with the techno pumpin', and sexy girls all over the place. The New Britain Hurricanes are the number one high-school football team in the state. Home to Central Connecticut State University and its Blue Devils. Bordering Southington is the New Britain Reservoir - best spot to cliffjump - just don't get caught. Probably the only city in the world with pimped out cars with rims that are worth more than the cars themselves. 8th largest city in Connecticut. Teenagers have gotten quite creative at New Britain High, when they want some time off from school they just call in a bomb threat. Lots of parks .. with woods .. great places to hold illegal bonfires .. until the fire department comes. There is no Wendy's; it is very disappointing. We've got Capitol Lunch. We've got Guida's Milk. The superintendent doesn't like to call snowdays .. even when there are crazy blizzards and you're snowed inside your house.
Geographically, it's close to .. everywhere. The beach, New York City, Rhode Island, Mass., malls, movie theaters, ice-skating rinks, and great nightclubs are all close by.
As much as some may complain about living there, it's a good place to call home. =)

Get the New Britain mug.One who is not British(from birth in Great Britain, not necessarily of British descent) that is obsessed with all forms of media and culture from Great Britain, despite having no connection to the country itself. These people are typically American, but can be from anywhere. They will usually be seen watching shows like Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes, etc, and will often attempt to use British idioms, fake a British accent, and pretend to know about British culture. British equivalent to Weaboo and Westaboo.
I know this one Britainophile that's obsessed with Doctor Who and often pretends to go traveling through time and space in that grimy phone booth he calls a Tardis.
