"Great Britain is one part of the United Kingdom"

You really aren't very smart, are you?

Great Britain: 1 island W Europe comprising England, Scotland, & Wales area 88,150 square miles (228,300 square kilometers), population 53,917,000" (Merriam Webster Dictionary Online).

America: 1a. The United States b. the land mass occupied by the United States 2. North, South, and Central America: a landmass comprising North America, South America, and Central America

My comparison was correct: geographic entity to political entity.
