Chapter 2 · What Is the UK?
Crown Dependencies vs Overseas Territories
Source: Handbook p.9
Crown Dependencies are the Channel Islands (Jersey and Guernsey) and the Isle of Man. They are linked to the UK but not part of it and have their own governments.

Both are distinct from the four nations that make up the UK itself.
