the term "great britain" later served to distinguish the large island of britain from the french region of brittany (in french "grande-bretagne" and "bretagne" respectively). with the acts of union 1707 it became the official name of the new state created by the union of the kingdom of england (which then included wales) with the kingdom of scotland, forming the kingdom of great britain. in 1801, the name of the country was changed to "united kingdom of great britain and ireland", recognising that ireland had ceased to be a distinct kingdom and, with the acts of union 1800, had become incorporated into the union. after irish independence in the early 20th century, the name was changed to "united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland", which is still the official name. in contemporary usage therefore, "great britain", while synonymous with the island of britain, and capable of being used to refer politically to england, scotland and wales in combination, is sometimes used as a loose synonym for the united kingdom as a whole. for example, the term "team gb" and "great britain" were used to refer to the united kingdom's olympic team in 2012 and this usage created controversy as some interpreted it as excluding northern ireland. (the usage 'gbr' in this context is determined by the international olympic committee (see list of ioc country codes) which accords with the international standard iso 3166. the internet country code, ".uk" is an anomaly, being the only top-level domain that does not follow iso 3166).
