The bit about Cornwall got me thinking a bit because whenever I say I'm from the south west people assume I'm from Cornwall even though Devon has the most population.

It’s sort of like that. Most people would say Florida is not part of “the south” except for maybe the panhandle in the northwest of the state. Florida very much has its own kind of culture because of a high population of Hispanic people (esp. Cubans), retired adults, tourists, etc. However, Florida is highly a populous state, both compared to the south and in general which is why it’s so important for elections.

The question of weather the Isle of Man is or is not a part of the UK may be solved by answering one simple questions: does the Isle of Man have one or more MPs representing its citizens in Westminster? If so, the Isle of Man is a part of the UK. If not, the Isle of Man may depend on the UK, it may even "belong" to the the UK (if you want to put things that way), but it is not an integral part of the UK.
