I’ll talk political definitions:

England is literally the nation of England. It is part of the UK.

GB Great Britain: England, Scotland and Wales. It’s not a country (although it used to be). Now it’s just the Island, plus a few of the smaller islands around it.

UK: is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So that’s England, Scotland, Wales, and N. Ireland. It’s a country, made up of the four constituent nations.

Ok “briefly” then.

1. United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland.

2. Great Britain : England, Scotland and Wales.

3. England : England.

Hope this helps, not sure about the “sharp phrasing” though.

England, Scotland and Wales are the three countries that make up Great Britain, the largest of the islands that make up the British Isles. The United Kingdom consists of the same three countries, plus Northern ireland.

The very basics:

England is a country.

Great Britain is made up of England, Scotland and Wales.

The United Kingdom is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The full name of the above is the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
