There's not a New Scotland, New Wales, or New Northern Island, so ner :3

(edit: only kidding, I hate making that error, I blame the media for never mentioning "England" any more, it's always "Britian" now xD)

It always WAS Britain - just some English like to think otherwise!!

Oh... really. Here's just one of a great many that are linked to Scotland.

Of the names of the 454 communities and neighbourhoods in Greater Nashville that have been identified to date, 83 (18.3%) are based, in whole or in part, on place names that can be found in Scotland, on Scottish family names, or on Scottish words. Of course, many of the names are used in other parts of the British Isles as well but at least 27 (6.0%) of these appear to be exclusive to Scotland.

Seek and ye shall find.

Oh you wanted purely american places, ok then how about inverness, Elgin dundee, Glasgow, edinburgh Scott county, Caledonia, Scotland, Scotland County, Livingston, Midlothian.

There is a New Scotland in New York, there are Scotlands in South Dakota, Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri, Connecticut and Pennsylvania there is also a Scotia in New York to name but a few.

There are at least 10 Cardiffs..... want me to go on?

Just because you are unaware of their existance because they dont have the prominence of other place names does mean they dont exist.

I think you will find that England formed PART of the British Empire - as was. Recently known as Great Britain / UK. You're part of a United Kingdom - not sitting out there like something special. Part - not in entirety.

I know you were being tongue in cheek - but let's not kid here.
