• What are the rules around the name Great Britain? For e.g. if Scotland becomes independent does it stop being appropriate or would we still be the British Isles?

  • Depends if you mean Great Britain the land mass or Great Britain the political union of Scotland, Wales and England. British Isles is purely geographic so less troublesome.

  • British Isles is purely geographic so less troublesome.

    Purely geographic, but includes Ireland (the island thereof) ...

    Whether that makes it more or less troublesome is left as an exercise for the reader.
