Sounds about right to me

At least that is the correct summation of what the UK is within the popular mind, and thus the concept which matters most.
This sceptered Isle is a good piece of evidnece which points the belief among the inhabitants of the UK that they live on an Island, conveniently forgetting Northern Ireland and other little bits. Not really an issue though, since its the idea of an Island mentality which is really got at in this definition.
