May I ask for a little consistency? In some quizzes the island on which England, Wales and Scotland lie is called Great Britain in others United Kingdom though both names apply politically and seem interchangable if you were given a wrong answer for Great Britain on the last quiz that called for the answer, having Great Britain be correct and United Kingdom be wrong on the next one is frustrating at best! Keep up the good work, by the way, these are VERY fun!

@Nyack: This quiz gets it right. The island is named Great Britain, and the name of the sovereign state is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or just United Kingdom for short. I do think you should accept Celebes for Sulawesi, however.

I added Celebes as an acceptable answer. Thanks!

I think that UK and England should count as Great Britain. They are the same thing! I also SWEAR ireland should be up there.

This one can be confusing...according to some Luzon is slightly larger than Cuba or Newfoundland.

"I think that UK and England should count as Great Britain. They are the same thing!" - they are not the same thing. "I also SWEAR ireland should be up there." - Ireland is not the name of any island.

Ireland is the name of the island that consists of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. It's not on the list because it is smaller than Cuba

The UK consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Nothern Ireland. The island of Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. Saying they are all the same is like saying that North America, the USA and Texas are all the same.

What a STUPID quiz

In what way exactly is it stupid? Are you just calling it stupid because you got a low mark, and now you're bitter? This quiz is not stupid- none of the quizzes on this site are. They may not be about things that you know about, or not to your taste- for example I can't do any of the baseball questions- but that doesn't make them stupid. People put time and energy into creating these quizzes. How would you feel if someone said that something you created was stupid?

British Isles is not a single island - it includes all the islands (Ireland, Isle of Man, Guernsey, Jersey etc) around the large island of Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). UK or United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the sovereign state (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland). Complicated isn't it? When, or if, Scotland becomes independent - don't ask!
