Reply to comment by R3lay0 in [OC] The average colour of each European country flag. by kate1hepuppy

  1. She is the current ambassador of Scotland.

  2. They all have ambassadors.

  3. They are called embassies.

  4. The Republic of Somaliland doesn't have an embassy, you think that's not a country? Bhutan doesn't have an embassy, is that not a country?

  5. They are legitimate countries, they have borders, they have languages, completely different cultures, completely different people, different landscapes, different climates.

The amount of hatred each four countries has for eachother as well is very high.

If you went to Scotland wearing someone else's family tartan (tartan is a family crest, each tartan is unique and means something specific, usually a family name) you'd get the shit kicked out of you. Each Scottish family has a unique tartan.

They're completely different countries with different cultural rules, different languages, it would be very confusing for an east Englander to try to aclimate to Scottish life, the same couldn't be said for a new yorker in Texas.

An Irish person in Wales would experience a vast amount of cultural differences, the same could not be said of a Floridian in California.

The differences between the four countries are more drastic than the differences between Mexico and the U.S.

Just because you don't get that, doesn't make it not true.

Source?

Do you have a list?

>They are called embassies.

The links you posted doesn't call them that

>The Republic of Somaliland

Which isn't recognized by any UN member.

>Bhutan doesn't have an embassy, is that not a country

Bhutan has embassies. https://www.mfa.gov.bt/embassies-missions-and-consulates-abroad/ Notice how those places have "embassy" in their names.

>They are legitimate countries, they have borders, they have languages, completely different cultures, completely different people, different landscapes, different climates.

Which is the case for many federalistic subdivisions.

>If you went to Scotland wearing someone else's family tartan (tartan is a family crest, each tartan is unique and means something specific, usually a family name) you'd get the shit kicked out of you. Each Scottish family has a unique tartan.

I fail to see how this is relevant for this discussion.

Cultural differences exist independently from countries.

Country - a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory.

Scotland - 790 Islands, and the mainland, nation of 5.46 million, £166 billion.

Northern Ireland - nation of 1.9 million, £49 billion

Wales - nation of 3.26 million, £98.3 billion.

England - nation of 56 million, £1.859 trillion.

They are different countries, moron.

You've provided 0 evidence supporting anything you're saying, I've provided multiple sources showing that they're countries.

Independence and embassies doesn't = a country.

Palestine isn't recognised by the U.N. but is obviously still a country.
