England?
- Strom 5y agoIf you want them to say United Kingdom, then say it. Obscure one word comments aren't useful or transparent.
- lifeisstillgood 5y agoSadly even UK is not right here. We are the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. If we do not include NI, then we are just Great Britain. Most of us are confused about it too.
- bof_ 5y agoAnd the alpha_3 for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is GBR. The Western European Archipelago is a complex place.
- mcguire 5y agoWell, the ancestor has a point, sort of. England conquered Wales, Scotland, and a bunch of other parts of the Earth, and only grudgingly became the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". Historically, its relationship with everyone else in Britain, much less the rest of the world, have been somewhat strained. By the way, any news on the Scottish independence thing?
