798: Great Britain Feb 13, 2017

Great Britain is called 'great' not because of its wonderfulness, but because of its size. Being only 1/2,093 the area of the earth, it might seem odd to say this. In fact, Great Britain is only great in comparison to Brittany, a small region in the northwest of France whose inhabitants still speak a Celtic language spoken since Celts fled invading Anglo-Saxons, and was once part of the Angevin empire along with parts of the modern United Kingdom. There are other areas as well, like Ireland, not included in the label, Great Britain, and so the term often used to mean either England or the UK means neither.
