	Britain and Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The islands of Great Britain and Ireland are part of an archipelago with a combined area of 315,000 km² off the west coast of Europe, and the term "Britain and Ireland" is sometimes used, somewhat loosely and incorrectly, to refer to that entire archipelago.
		More commonly, the term "Britain and Ireland" is used to refer to the two states within the archipelago, namely the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (comprising England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and the Republic of Ireland.
		In the context of the Northern Ireland peace process the term "Islands of the North Atlantic" (IONA) has been used as a neutral term to describe these islands, though that term has also been labelled ambiguous.
