That is only due to a misleading bug in ISO 3166 (part two of which is
currently under review), which equates GB ('Great Britain') to a
higher-level territory (UK) of which it is only a part ('The United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland') and which ignores the
fact that the e-mail territorial address identifier for the entire
territory is actually .UK (as in www.bbc.co.uk, smo.uhi.ac,uk,
www.qub.ac.uk, www.cadw.wales.gov.uk, etc., etc.).
Hope this helps,
