Jersey, officially the Bailiwick of Jersey, is part of the British Isles, but it is not part of Great Britain or the United Kingdom. Jersey has an international identity separate from that of the UK and Jersey is a self-governing British Crown Dependency. This means that whilst Jersey is not part of the UK or the European Union, the UK is constitutionally responsible for the defence of Jersey. The Bailiwick of Jersey is located off the coast of Normandy, France and consists of, the main island of Jersey, which is the largest of the Channel Islands, along with surrounding uninhabited islands and rocks collectively named, Les Dirouilles, Les Écréhous, Les Minquiers and Les Pierres de Lecq.
