Just from a purely nerdy perspective, for those wondering. the "GB = United Kingdom" mixup is due to ISO-3166, the international standard for country codes. It specifies the "official standard" for country abbreviations around the world and in it, the United Kingdom is specified as GB/GBR. HOWEVER, Ukraine is specified as UA/UKR. You will note that it was UK, not UA, so my best guess would either be a random system of abbreviations that someone at the agency came up with or it could be that they took the 3 letter codes and cut off the last letter. The latter however, I imagine, would cause some collisions with identical codes.

Yep, weird standard indeed. Must feels weird for a Northern Irish to drive around with GB plates while literally not being from the island

Technically Wales weren’t a constituent country of the UK as they were considered a part on England. That’s why a lot of stuff is “England and Wales” like the justice system and until devolution schools and the NHS. Devolution was when Wales was recognised as being different.

[@BlairdBlaird]

Specifically Wales was initially conquered way back in 1283 and held in essentially personal union: the king of england was the prince of wales, though most of it was administered by the marcher lords, and while english criminal law applied welsh civil law otherwise remained. Wales revolted in the early 15th century, and after crushing the welsh rebellion England decided that the reason for the revolt was the existence of a distinct welsh identity, so decided to formally annex Wales, unifying the legal, political and administrative systems (= applying English everything to Wales, including replacing Welsh as the language of the courts). From there on and until the the start of devolution Wales effectively didn't exist. In 1979 Wales actually voted against devolution 4:1 (a second referendum would pass, barely, in 1997). Scotland however, entered a bipartite *political union* with England (the Treaty of Union, voted on by both the Scots Parliament and the Parliament of England) after a century of personal union: James VI King of Scots inherited the throne of England, so he was the sole monarch of two separate and independent countries (three when you include the Kingdom of Ireland) each with their otherwise separate political and legal systems. Ireland somewhat likewise (the Act of Union was voted on in 1800), except it then managed to prosecute a mostly successful war of independence.

Just to be pernickity... for fun.... 😁 The UK flag is only called "Union Jack" when it is flying on board ship. Otherwise, it should be called the "Union Flag". According to your friend Wiki : "The 'Jack' part comes from the name for a small maritime flag. Since before 1600, 'jack' has been used to describe a small flag flown from the mast of a ship - so, when a small version of the Union Jack started to be flown around 1627, it was often referred to as the jack, jack flag or King's jack."

It's because Wales for along time was not considered a country in it's own right until devolution. It's why it's legal system is the same as England's.

C'est des pays ,mais pas dans le sens "Admis a l'ONU" ,Un pays c'est un territoire au sein d'un autre territoire ,les habitant du pays ont une spécificité que n'ont pas les gens du territoire (Qui englobe le pays) ,ça peut être qu'il parle une autres langues ,qu'ils aient une autres religions ,une spécificité physique aussi comme une grande taille ,ou qu'ils produise quelque de spécifique qui n'est pas vraiment produit dans le reste du pays ou qu'ils ont un savoir-faire. Et il y a aussi les spécificité géographique/environnementale ,ou sociale. Moi par exemple je viens du Pays du Vimeu qui est un pays en Picardie ,département Français ,la spécificité c'était une spécificité de type industrielle ,et c'était dans la Serrurerie et la Robinetterie (Après aujourd'hui ça a disparu puisque la France n'a plus d'industrie) ,une autres spécificité du Vimeu ,c'est la Craie et l'Argile de Silex (Géographique) Par exemple juste dans la région Picardie ,il y a 22 Pays (Pour 3 Département au total) Juste dans la région Hauts-de-France (Donc inclus la Picardie) ,il y a 61 pays (Sur 5 départements) (Il y a en énormément ici tous simplement parce que c'était la région Industrielle de la France a l'époque) Alors que l'Auvergne-Rhones-Alpes (2,2 fois plus grande que les Hauts-de-France et ils ont 12 départements) n'ont que 55 pays . A la base les pays en France ,c'était des spécificité linguistique (Surtout Dialectales) géopgraphique et physique et puis l'industrialisation en a créé plus ,avec des zone qui se spécialise dans un type de production ,de savoir-faire . Mais dans les Îles Britanniques ,la spécificité était plutôt linguistique.(Même s'ils ne parlent plus leur langues ,ça reste des pays ,déjà parce qu'ils ont un accent spécifique (Et oui ça compte) mais surtout parce même si la spécificité disparais ,tant que toute le monde n'a pas oubliées le fait que c'était un pays qui avait une spécificité ,alors cela reste un pays)

It's be better to be black. It would look cooler, blue is basically just a light shade of black (in some languages that is literally the translation of the word "blue") so it makes sense in that regard to just make the blur darker, so dark it's black. And the main reason is because the Welsh cross of David has a black background. The Welsh cross of David is also a yellow cross so perhaps making the white around the English cross yellow might also be nice. But Scottish independence is still unlikely to happen anytime soon, nor is Wales likely to get representation on the flag unfortunately...

(because i can see why the hebrides are, but the other islends look to be right in the middle of their respecive sea) and why is welsh recognised as a county but cornwall is not despite: wales being included into the english part of the flag of the UK (probably for aesthetic reasons) , both countries having a different cultural identity, language, flag and having been annexed by england at around the same time

[@alicemilne1444]

I have never heard anyone referring to the four countries of the UK as counties: Certainly not in the UK. What you may have heard in the past (and unfortunately still today) is some people in England - and only in England - referring to the other three countries as "regions". This regularly causes outspoken annoyance in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the UK government has been forced to change its practice and publish all public statistics for "the countries of the UK and the regions of England". The Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are not part of the UK. They are autonomous Crown Dependencies. They have their own governments, their own laws, print their own banknotes, issue their own passports. However their people do have British citizenship and the UK government takes charge of foreign policy and defence for them. Wales is recognised as a country because although it was under English control ever since the 14th century, it was not incorporated into England's administrative and legal system until 1536. Cornwall, on the other hand, was already under the control of English kings from as far back as the 9th century.

Peace be upon you. Avoid the word " f..." That will be better for you in this life and the hereafter.

On est pas (pas tous) des niaiseux ! UK a toujours voulu dire United Kingdom !

[@konradbanys2239]

Could you cut the swearing by half? Thank you!

[@erikarommel]

@Konrad Banys Ça va pas?

[@Tranceplant82]

Nah...

[@konradbanys2239]

@@Tranceplant82 well, maybe it's a question of taste but for me swearwords are like a spice, if you add too much of it it's too much. Compare with "Thomas Wiesel" for example.
