Passport Query, which country

I'm filling in the application for a new passport and am not sure what to put for country of birth.
Should I put England, Britain, or United Kingdom ?
Its not clear from the notes and my birth certificate only has the town.
I'm leaning towards United Kingdom, as form says country of birth (including UK)

I put United Kingdom when I renewed my son's passport, and on those that I have certified the applications the applicants have also put United Kingdom.Smiles are as perfect a gift as hugs...

Thanks all, I've just checked the online form and its a dropdown menu for 'country of birth' with United Kingdom as the only 'british/english' option.0

It will probably only list those countries that appear in the ISO list of countries0

I emailed the passport agency and received reply today confirming that United Kingdom is the required option for those born in England.0
