Re: Great Britain
United Kingdom is 4 countries........as the counter correctly displays for pro users.
Great Britain is 3 countries.
So it needs changing to United Kingdom, and the country code UK used instead of GB

Re: Great Britain
yes indeed. Northern Ireland is counted under Great Britain, but it is not a part of the Britain Island. It is just a member of the United Kingdom.

According to Geonames, yes it is, but that still doesnt make it right. Northern Ireland is Not part of Great Britain.,
"The abbreviations to use are the ISO codes, except for Greece and the United Kingdom, for which EL and UK are recommended (instead of GR and GB). The former abbreviations were generally taken from the international code for automobiles and were used until the end of 2002."

Re: Great Britain
"The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code UK is also exceptionally reserved for the United Kingdom on the request of the country"

Re: Great Britain
For what it's worth, I always use UK rather than GB.
