Now if someone can tell me what exactly "Britain" is? People say it all the time, like this is the largest statue of a vulva in Britain. Just shorthand for Great Britain, or is it something else?

Just that - shorthand for Great Britain. Easier to use when you don't think it's so great, like if you live in the Republic of Ireland!

Republic of Ireland

Which on the diagram is coterminous with “Ireland (state)”?

Exactly - that's it's proper name and how it's distinguished from Northern Ireland since they share the land mass of Ireland

You did a great job on this though, OP. It's difficult to explain to non-nationals with no idea of the history, so this is very helpful
