The British Isles : Great Britain (England + Scotland + Wales) and Ireland (Northern Ireland + Southern Ireland)

Politically, the British Isles are two countries  :

-       the United Kingdom (Great Britain + Northern Ireland)

-       the Republic of Ireland (Southern Ireland) = Eire

The United Kingdom was invaded several times, therefore the language and country have mainly Anglo-Saxon and Celtic origins.

The Celtic parts are Cornwall in England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland.

The Celts believe in the existence of creatures, that we traditionally call “supernatural creatures”.
