political term inclusive of united kingdom or great britain + crown dependencies?
given that the crown dependencies [isle of man, bailiwicks of guernsey and alderney] are formally not part of the united kingdom, is there a political geographic term that includes them with either the united kingdom or great britain? a term inclusive of all domains under the authority of direct british rule, parliament and/or crown? along the same lines, is there one that would include the overseas territories? or has no one ever thought it worth the bother?
