I always get this mixed up - and I live here!
The full name is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", which is England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
To include Southern Ireland, you need to talk about the British Isles.
One thing which frequently annoys me about various sites on the Internet is when you come to a drop-down menu (either for a search term or for payment/address details). I have only ever seen one site use the term "England". Otherwise, I live in the "United Kingdom". Doesn't seem to matter that I am English, looking for an English ancestor who did not live in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland or anywhere else.
