Just in case you are all REALLY that ignorant, allow me to educate you. Great Britain is thusly called because the island, Great Britain, is VERY large. Hence, it's "Great" Britain. It's a reference to its size, not its stature. The British Isles are made up of many islands, the largest two being Great Britain and Ireland. And the many hundreds of others being called whatever the hell they're called. Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, Skye, Anglessey etc. That's why the name can't change. And until the US proffers an island larger that it owns and wants to call "Great", they can all just shut the hell up.
Oooo.. I love this game...
Mediocre Britain
Okay Britain
Miniscule Britain
Alright Britain

You're right- the possibility of me making a joke is ludicrous

Nor I, apparently. Dial your humour detector up to "impossible British irony" and you'll see it :-P
size matters, i'll pull out against Britain
I don't get it...
Well we're now in 3rd place in the official medal tables!
Magic exists
Actually the country is called the United Kingdom, Great Britain is more of a geographical term.
And fuck you, don't dis Britain.
Or, Shite Britain
Arse Britain
