7 Still often quaintly referred to, even at the highest levels of the U.S. government, as “Great Britain.” After over two hundred years, this reluctance to call it by its correct name, the “United Kingdom” (formally adopted after the union with Ireland in 1801), is unfortunately shared by other states. The German government often refers to “Grossbritannien.”
