A more detailed account than the normal Euler diagram, addressing such vital questions as "Is Cardiff in England?" (it was from 1542 to 1967), "Is Portsmouth in Great Britain?" (not on the island, but yes in the region), "Is Belfast in GB?" (no, but also yes, since GB is also the ISO country code of the UK) and "Is Gibraltar in the UK?" (no, but it's still British).
