@Anon/Ceras - From my research, the UK is commonly referred to as Britain--just like the USA is called informally America or the States or whatnot. People in the US, Australia, and even the UK itself do it (even some Irish!). Of course, there is some rage over the naming semantics in real life, but it's been admitted by many that it's just a word used to describe the whole. Just look at the archived Wikipedia discussions over the UK's name!

So...When do you think we should do the convert to Britain? It'll be a long task...But, y'know, if Funimation is using it and if it was requested by the company and author, it's basically official. At the very least, the English-speaking audience--our primary audience--will be reading this.
