I am a resident of the UK and have a UK passport. This should mean that I buy a Eurail, not an Interrail pass. The purchase is going fine until I come to the ‘Eurail Global Pass Adult traveler’ details. You have to submit a country of residence. But ‘United Kingdom’ is not available. Neither is ‘Great Britaiin’ or ‘GB’ or whatever we are calling ourselves today. What is going on? Am I missing something?

'United Kingdom' not available for Eurail Global Pass traveller details

If you're a resident of the UK, then you're a resident of Europe and therefore you don't qualify for Eurail but for Interrail:

Interrail and Eurail have nothing to do with European Union :) Countries like Serbia,Moldova,Russia and many more like UK are not in the EU but citizen of these Countries are eligible for Interrail :)

In fact, Interrail was introduced before the UK joined the EU (!) and it was already valid in the UK back then...

OK. I understand that UK residents apply for Interail. It is, in fact, impossible to buy a Eurail pass. However, though it might seem obvious to those with experience of Interrail/Eurail there is no definitive information on any web site. EVEN from the Eurail Help, who had previously told me this:
For UK residents as yourself, we have the Eurail Pass.
Although both are very similar in use, a few legally-binding conditions apply differently to each type, like the fact that you have to be able to show a EU ID while using your Interrail Pass (and vice versa) and the fact that Inbound/Outbound conditions only apply to Interrail Passes.

The link I posted earlier is clear. The information from “Eurail Help” you post now is incorrect and has never been correct.
