The full title of the UK is "The United Kingdom of Geat Britain and Northern

Most of us would use the shorthand form "the UK" when referring to it, and I
could correctly say either that I was born in the UK or that I was born in

Cool. Thanks!
Okay, I can put:
UK United Kingdom
(of Great Britain and Northern Ireland)
That's exactly what I was looking for. And it's legit. And it's clearer.
Thanks a lot. Marnie aka Doe ;-)
