The United Kingdom comprises of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland whereas Southern Ireland is a separate nation. Northern Ireland share a common government and passport with the nations of the large island. Great Britain, on the other hand, includes the main Island of Scotland, Wales and England excluding the whole of Ireland-both Northern as well as Southern. Great Britain is called so in order to distinguish it from Brittany or Little Britain, a province across the Channel in France.
