Politics and government of
the United Kingdom Northern Ireland is on occasion referred to as a province of the United Kingdom, and Wales on occasion is referred to as a principality. The Parliament of the United Kingdom and Her Majesty's Government deal with all reserved matters for Northern Ireland and Scotland and all non-transferred matters for Wales, but not in general on matters that have been devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly, Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly. England remains the full responsibility of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which is centralised in London. As the sovereign state, the United Kingdom is recognised as the representative country under international law, and thus England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are not themselves listed on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) List of countries. The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are British Islands, but are not under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom. The republic of Ireland is a separate country and sovereign state, and although part of the geographical 'British Isles', is not a part of the British Islands or the UK.
