A European island (est. pop. 61M), 9th largest in the world about the size of Minnesota (~88.7sq. mi.), consisting of England, Scotland, and Wales, all of which send representatives to the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The UK consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. “Great Britain” also has a purely geographic meaning, as the largest island of the British Isles. The term was first used during the Middle Ages to differentiate between the island of Britain and Brittany (Little Britain) in what is now France, which was a haven for Celtic peoples (Britons) fleeing the Germanic incursions beginning in the 5th and 6th centuries. Once the greatest nation in the world, Great Britain has been nearly destroyed from within by atheism, socialism and a pedophilic Luciferian elite class. 1
