But how can he be the United Kingdom and yet have the rest of the kingdoms as brothers? How can they exist if England is the UK? Russia wasn't the Soviet Union just like England is not the United Kingdom: they represent the greater political entity but can not be them. And canon shows us England being England way before the United Kingdom were even an idea, so there's that.

Regarding Britain: I have never seen anyone using it as a synonym for either England or the United Kingdom but my social circle is mostly people like myself, who study this for a living and are usually picky about names.

I have the impression that neither of us will be convinced, though.

What all the kind anons said. (This is what happens when you live on the other side of the globe...)

As for Britain, I can only offer these (http://digitaldiplomacy.fco.gov.uk/en/guidance/content/editorial/style/uk-britain) links (http://www.guardian.co.uk/styleguide/b) (do a search for 'Britain'). I could post other links, plus I could always dig out my MHRA style guide but IIRC that said something along the same lines. Again: it may not be the most common usage, but that's how I always see it used in papers, TV (until a while ago my job involved watching the BBC), etc. Not being British, I may have misunderstood something but the above links seem to be clear enough for me.

look, dud, I don't actually give a fuck. Just rewrite your epic Giles mpreg an then we'll talk, kay?

I'm not into mpreg and have never written any, and I've never been in the BTVS fandom either, but I'll try my best!

Thank you for the links.
