Jesus christ, just when I thought I understood what all the convoluted UK/GB/etc names meant, now I discover I need to add "Crown Dependencies" to the list? That turn out to be neither part of the UK nor British Overseas Territories?

I swear they're just messing with us. Who comes up with these things...

I assumed this link would have been one of the top comments! All the other links in this thread combined don't shed light on the topic nearly as well as CGP Grey's video.

Probably explains the lack of a constitution too. No one dares to try and document it!
