The Republic of Ireland (the west most region on the first page) isn't part of the United Kingdom. The term for the group of regions shown is 'the British Isles'. See https://qntm.org/uk While it seems like a trivial distinction the whole thing is somewhat fraught (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Troubles).

Many, many people have died for this triviality.
"Somewhat fraught" is a very interesting choice of words, but then again, so is "The Troubles" (when the subject matter is decades of bombings and killings).
