Well, our country is called Great Britain. XD
But, in all seriousness, France and Britain (along with the US, China and Russia) are two of the five most powerful nations on Earth, and are peerless outside of the Security Council (which makes up the Bismarckian Great Powers of today), so, yeah, I'd say Britain and France are pretty "great".
Gee, and I teach my students that it is called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which about a country ago was called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and before the Act of Union......
As for national power, the UK and France are not in the same league as the US, Russia and China...
