Many people mix up England, Great Britain, the UK… Let’s break it down:
England – A country (like Nigeria), capital: London.
Great Britain – The island made up of England, Scotland (Edinburgh), and Wales (Cardiff).
United Kingdom (UK) – Full name: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
It includes:
• England
• Scotland
• Wales
• Northern Ireland (capital: Belfast)
And 
don’t confuse Northern Ireland with the Republic of Ireland – that’s a separate country, capital: Dublin
