What country do you come from? *POLL*

[090901]

I'm Northern Irish.

Where would that count as?

Britain.

You are wrong.

Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales.

The United Kingdom consists of the aforementioned including Northern Ireland.

Geographically Northern Ireland counts as part of Ireland.

However due to the mixed areas in Northern Ireland some want it part of the United Kingdom while others want it part of a United Ireland while few (Including myself) want it Independent.

However since I have an Irish heritage I'll go in the other box.

How is he wrong he is asking what country you are from and you are from the UK which most people refer to as Britain.

Well, the poll option is Great Britain, and politically, Great Britain only refers to England, Scotland and Wales, if the option were United Kingdom, British Isles, or United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island, it would be right. Obviously, this is from a completely pedantic standpoint.

muh anglo-saxon/celtic pride

09's right. If you're from the UK, pick Britain, as most of the world refers to the UK as Britain (or even England) anyway.

[Dangerfield7up]

As much as I hate to say it Welsh is British.

I know this is really off topic, but...

Yay!

Really though, if you're not from America it doesn't matter what you put. All that matters is that it isn't America. You can just go cry about not being American.

Really though, if you're not from Merica it doesn't matter what you put. All that matters is that it isn't Merica. You can just go cry about not being Merica!

I fixed it for you.

[Meganerdbomb]

Really though, if you're not from 'Murica it doesn't matter what you put. All that matters is that it isn't 'Murica. You can just go cry about not being 'Murican!

I fixed it for you.

I fixed it better.

It always has baffled me... is Great Britain an actual country? I thought it was a bunch a countries that are in the same region. It also upsets me that they compete in the olympics combined when smaller countries don't have that privilege.

Anywho I'm from Australia.

So I was correct? Either way they should be competing as single countries not as a group, or perhaps the USA could compete with all countries from the south american continent and compete under the name of America  .

*cough* Tasmania *cough*

That's a state, not another country.

The UK is one country, just because it has constituent countries, doesn't deny its political status as a single entity. Funny how we compete as GB though, as Great Britain is just the main island lol.

The UK and US are similar in this way; on paper every state of the US could be it's own country (self governing and whatnot) but we're united by the federal branches of government. You guys (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales) are all united by the royal family and parliament (I might be wrong there) excluding Northern Ireland (again I might be wrong there)
