	A much needed quiz - excellent! :-) @Chromatos - I'm not sure anyone in Britain uses the word in that way - even the phrase 'British Isles' is quite contentious in the Republic of Ireland.

	Well that clears that up for everyone! Thanks Diving!

	true false on sporcle is a terrible idea

	of course the 'Good Friday' or 'Belfast' Agreement enshrines the right of people in Northern Ireland to identify themselves or be accepeted as Irish or British or indeed both. Therefore if you accept this document which was voted on in referenda north and south of the Irish border then the term British may or may not apply to someone from Northern Ireland. Equally the term Irish may or may not apply. Im not sure if anyone is interested in this point but as a nordy myself i think it is worthwhile/factual!

	Great idea, but the problem is that you can just type t and then f for each question, so it isn't a surprise that 98% of people got all the questions right. Good questions, unfortunately with the current tech, T/F is not a good idea.

	I don't think diving designed the quiz to make it difficult, it's a statement quiz, which we can all point to when people say 'where is Scotland/England/etc????' on various quizzes. Nicely done diving.

	This quiz is meant to accurately describe the political status of the UK rather than to really challenge people, yes you can just write 'T' or 'F' and if you get one wrong its easy to switch the answer as another format would be too open-ended, but my intention is to describe the United Kingdom and maybe educate people who were confused about some of the points on here, I'm just as happy if players complete the whole quiz or click 'give up' right away and read the statements and explanations

	I actually thought the 8th question would be false because of Northern Ireland. Although some people from Northern Ireland regard themselves Irish instead, it turns out that many people are fine with the term British. Also didn't know about Britain being a short form for the UK. Didn't expect to learn much from this quiz, but did.

	People from Northern Ireland have the right to citizenship in both the UK and Ireland so they may hold both British and Irish citizenship, but all people who hold UK citizenship are British (this isn't to say they primarily identify themselves as such, it's just the official term to describe someone with UK citizenship) The terms 'Britain' 'Great Britain' & 'British' can be confusing because of the number of things that use variations of those names - politically 'Great Britain' means England, Scotland, & Wales; but geographically 'Great Britain' is just the largest island & excludes the Isle of Wight, the Orkneys, etc - 'British Isles' refers to the whole archipelago including Ireland while 'British Islands' only includes areas that fall under the UK's jurisdiction - 'Britain' is recognized by the UK government as an informal term for the whole of the UK even though 'Great Britain' excludes Northern Ireland

	More of a lesson than a quiz, but a great and often needed lesson nonetheless. Have you been reading my Sporcle homepage?
