Default 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:

http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk...devolution.htm

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.

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

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

You can't use what I just used dude. Be a little more creative, eh?

Dude is because I created a thread.

You most have no life, and thats pretty evident by your 11 thousand post in a few months.

Keep typing a way on that keyboard!

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
