Uk...

How is England a Kingdom.

Technically speaking, England has a monarch and Wales has a prince....hence the terminology. Slightly dated maybe, but I believe it still stands.

Cool, so now we're saying that the constitutional monarchy that is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland no longer exists.

Really works for me.

Can we be a republic.

I had actually written 'and yes I know technically all parts of the UK come under the UK monarch.....' but deleted it. Boy am I regretting that decision now!

It was a good choice, for two reasons.

To use the word "technically" twice would have been appalling.

More importantly self pwnage > pwnage.

Pfftt! Not really......a) If I had included it I would have altered the whole thing to sound grammatically and structurally ship-shape, b) It would have unnecessarily complicated the point I was making, since it was rather stating the bleeding obvious, and c) that is why I made the point that the terminology was slightly dated...having come about before the advent of the UK.

Yeah, you know the crushing hand of reason when you see it.....keep on walking....

Now that was just nasty.

It seems that there are varying definitions of "country".

If we can decide on a definition for "country", then we may be able to determine what is one, and what aint.

Country - Bit of the World where they all do the same stuff. See Wales.

I have submitted the above to all the appropriate agencies.
