If you are in England ...
For the delight of those who are not UK citizens:
Great Britain = England + Scotland + Wales

The full title of the UK is
"The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
I don't know if this has any impact on GeoIP results...
While that is strictly true of course I am pretty certain that in this
instance the reasoning behind the GB code is not coming from any
misunderstanding of that nature, in this case GB is in fact the correct
ISO 3166 country code for the United Kingdom see ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
technically speaking the ccTLD for the UK is also .gb as they are
derived from the same standard .uk was reserved under an exceptional
reservation partly there was a time both were used .
Heh, that's getting off on a side track though just seemed a relevant
point at the time.
