Strange how many brits see England, N. Ireland, Scotland, and Wales as 4 different countries. I thought it was called the 'United kingdom of great Britain and northern Ireland' for a reason. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe the 4 nations used to be divided but now they count as just one country, at least on an international level. The ISO -International Organization for Standardization- list of countries doesn't list the 4 nations separately.

I think because each of these countries is very different, they have their own histories, personalities, traditions, their own Patron Saints, cuisine. I think sometimes we do feel together, but mostly have our own identity, and quite a few people are proud of which they come from and it's heritage. It is a bit strange.

I understand. It's natural to have pride in your country, especially with countries that have such long and rich histories. Outside of the UK, people tend to see it as one whole, but of course it's understandable that citizens will identify themselves according to the country within the country that they're from. And especially when there's so much variety not just from country to country, or region to region, but city to city. I've only been to several cities within England, but even those were varied to a surprising degree for being such a small nation. Accents, behaviour, people.. all very different. It's the same in my country and others I've been to, but it certainly seems much more noticeable there, perhaps again, because of the history associated with each.

I might be in the minority, but I see each as different.

We have so many different terms that everyone may as well give up.

You've got England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. They're all countries, but have a single centralised government housed in London. (Some powers are now devolved to the constituent countries)

You've got Great Britain - which is England, Scotland and Wales.

You've got the UK - which is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

You've also got the British Isles - Which is a purely geographical term for Great Britain and ALL of Ireland. It's a term that Ireland now refuses to recognise.

Many of the people that live in the UK could not tell you the difference, so why should I expect anyone else to?
