Great Britain/United Kingdom...an ACTUAL country or not?

[Darren]

Now...most of us would call Great Britain/United Kingdom a country BUT is it really?

We all know that GB/UK consists of: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.


But can four small countries really co-join to make one big country? Or why not make them like the states? Florida, Miami, LA ect.. INSTEAD of making four big countries join into one big one yet still have the previous four still in existance, there is utterly no point in any of it.

It's strange..


ALSO WHILE I'M ON THIS TOPIC!! What is up with the whole Great Britain and United Kingdom thing? Do we really need two names for the same thing?

It's rediculaaaaas!!



What do you people of DTL think?

[LoveAngi]

It confuses me with having so many names. :S

[ninaYAYA[x]]

UK doesn't include southern Ireland.

GB doesn't include Ireland at all. It's just England Scotland and Wales.

The British Isles is England Ireland Scotland and Wales.

And Great Britain, The UK, and The British Isles aren't countries.

England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, And Wales all have separate Governments.

That's the difference.

Well, lol.
Nina put a dead stop to that one. >.<

Yeah they're two different things. UK = England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland. GB = all those and ROI.

Scotland has their own parliament and Wales has an assembly. Northern Ireland has an assembly but its always being suspended ha.

But yeah thats what has already been said lol
