I have a question about the UK.
 
What is the UK exactly?

Are Britain, Ireland, Scotland and Wales part of the same country and separated like states in the US? Or are they separate nations altogether?

Example New York, Maryland, California are states that make the USA.

I'm pretty confused about that.

Britain is another name for the UK.

Scotland have a different government to England while I'm not sure about Wales.

Northern Ireland is also part of the UK.

Finally they are all seperate countries and in some sports play as Great Britain while in others as Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Regarding Scotland, this page might help also:

We're not independant. We're a devolved government.

Outside of the UK people see the UK as England

It is a piece of crap that benefits England and the sooner it is consigned to the dustbin of history the better.

This would lead to England finding the pride and identity it so sorely lacks


England is England, Wales is Wales, Scotland is Scotland and Ireland is all ****ed up.

Northern Ireland is Britain,they have 6 counties. The Republic of Ireland is totally seperate.

Marc 10-01-2010 03:23 PM

danda Wales has a different government but I think they essentially get power from Central Govenment (Eng) via devolution.

InOne 10-01-2010 03:24 PM

This is not a serious debate, have you heard of *******ing google? Silly yank.

edit:Would you please stop swearing!

Jessica. 10-01-2010 03:56 PM

Ireland has 32 counties, the northern 6 counties are in the uk. The republic of Ireland has its own government.

Why are you so concerned about where this thread is placed? Is your life so simple, that something like this matters to you?

Scotland and Whales and England are part of the UK.

Northern Ireland is sadly part of the UK.
The REP Of Ireland is not part of the UK.

Thats basically it :)

Biggersister 11-01-2010 09:15 AM

Basically Ireland, Scotland and Wales are just smaller, less good countries,,,hanging around the "supreme being" that is England!
