Loz Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Can anyone explain why England, Scotland, Wales and NI are considered countries and not states? Well, mostly by themselves - does anyone outside the UK (and the occasional sports body) consider them separate countries? To me, they are no more a country than Bavaria or Alaska or Catalonia. To use Pointless's definition, they are not "any sovereign state that's a member of the UN".
