ITT English people throwing a tantrum that the UK is a country and England is just a state of that country. 'Country status' xD Either it is a sovereign state or it is not. 

This is up there with “Egypt is not in Africa”

The truth apparently hurts.

You seem to forget the concept of the game - there is no right or wrong answer so you can literally answer with any word(s) you want. Doesn't even have to be a country or a flag that even had 2 colours on.

Yet you seem very hung up and stressed that people (and more than one) went for England. 

And you say we're 'throwing a tantrum'. You sure xD?!

Who said anything about stress? I thought the English people would know their own nation better. Maybe that is why the Tories always get elected in. :what:

The fact you bring it up means it clearly irks you xD .

England is a country so maybe we do know our nation well enough :what:

That last statement is bizarre considering it's a constant cycle of Tories then Labour then Tories etc so it makes no sense.

Encyclopaedia Britannica says it isn't. Tsk, tsk, Stan. A little light reading would brighten your dark miserable lives on the cloudy isles.

Your own source recognises it as a country later in the article, on more than one occasion...

In the early 19th century, England became the epicentre of a worldwide Industrial Revolution and soon the world’s most industrialized country. Drawing resources from every settled continent, cities such as Manchester, Birmingham, and Liverpool converted raw materials into manufactured goods for a global market, while London, the country’s capital, emerged as one of the world’s preeminent cities and the hub of a political, economic, and cultural network that extended far beyond England’s shores

 

Quote

With the loss of Britain’s vast overseas empire in the mid 20th century, England suffered an identity crisis, and much energy has been devoted to discussions of “Englishness”—that is, not only of just what it means to be English in a country that now has large immigrant populations from many former colonies and that is much more cosmopolitan than insular but also of what it means to be English as opposed to British

The country’s island location has been of critical importance to the development of the English character,

lol you don't even know the history as to why England, Wales, N.Ireland, and Scotland have NTs

Because the literal first international sides came from those countries?

Also well done on the Britannica thing, but you also have to ignore how almost everyone says that England is a country.

This is like the “decade” thing tbh

Nah I know you’re the WUM king, I fell for it despite knowing. That’s like a feather in your cap I think
