No one outside of the UK includes Ireland in the British Isles.

"British and Irish Isles" is the most common descriptor for the whole archipelago I see, and it seems a fair one even if it's a bit long. It'd be nice if we could all agree on something catchier but that seems unlikely, all things considered

Speaking of! Shouldn't Australia be in that chart too? And I'd like to see the "commonwealth" in the diagram too. It's all good complicated!

Can someone do one for terminology? Is calling people British mainly socially acceptable? I imagine the exception is the Irish from Ireland, but those from northern Ireland may give that a pass?

northern Ireland may give that a pass?

Never push a national identity onto someone from Northern Ireland. Because that's also a political Identity

In general British is a national identity. English/Scottish/Welsh would be a cultural identity.

You would call them what they say they are.

Call someone from Scotland British and see how that works out for you….

Cool!

I wonder... how do/does Shetland islands?/ Archipelago? fit into this?

So I'm late to the party here, but this is a very early version of a diagram I'm putting together that corrects a couple of issues with the diagram OP posted.

As I said: very early and also very incomplete, but what's there is accurate.

I’m into it! I can’t wait to see where this goes.

The state Irland shouldn't be republic of Irland ?
