I like the fact that you mentioned it was one of the greats, but never thought to search for GREAT Britain. :-/

Well, United Kingdom (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to be exact) is the proper term for the state. It seems like an Irishman compiled the list *g*.

Maybe an Irishman but definitely not protestant as Great Britain doesn't include Northern Ireland :)
