Hello, my online name is Ralph SilverSky and of course that isn't my real name; my universal username for websites online is ThirdQED. Currently, I am a first-year student at a University in the USA, taking my first steps toward my dream of becoming a physician.
My interests include computer, internet, health, medicine, chess, anime, manga, novels, martial art, badminton, philosophy, and psychology. By answering and asking various questions on here, I hope to be able to learn more about these subjects and activities.

Answers That I've Given
Question:
whats the difference between the united kingdom, britain, and england?
My Answer:
According to what I see on the screen here, you are living in the USA, correct?
Well, this case is very similar to what happens to the USA. A lot of times, you would hear people refer to the USA as "America," right? It's the same issue with England and UK.
So with that in mind:
United Kingdom (UK) = United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Great Britain (Britain) = England, Scotland and Wales (part of United Kingdom)
England = a country (part of Great Britain, which is part of UK)
And here's map to make things clearer:
