They are not countries. It is a common misconception. The United Kingdom is a country, not England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as they each do not have their own independent political government.

Your point being? The guy said no-one else did. He was wrong.

I would hardly call an almost 700ft long ship tiny.

United Kingdom is a country but it's also a sovereign state, as it it governs the main 4 countries that make up the UK. Which are all countries in themselves.

Wales and Ulster have their own assemblies and Scotland has it's own parliament. England does not. UK has a parliament that can govern all 4 countries.

 

But why Tyrannical is seemingly using Aircraft carriers as an arguement is beyond me.

Hm, so I'm living in the country of Bavaria in Germany, because it happens to be a so called free state and to have its own parliament and its own constitution. You never stop learning.

 

Back to the UK problem: then call all of them countries, but basically if there wasn't the historical thing going on, they would be called regions or states.
