for the record, england, wales, scotland, and northern ireland are not actually countries
great britain is UK + ireland, so again, not a country

Yes, this is the reason, it can cause a lot of confusion

They probably use Myanmar instead of Burma.

Well that sucks. It's a mistake of definition of 'country'. We are CLEARLY different countries. The system has failed us. Ask people in England whether we are a country and only the bespectacled, sunlight deprived nerdlingers will say 'actually, itth quite clearly not a country thir'
btw Great Britain has nothing to do with Ireland.

55, but its hard spelling it all in english. probably wasted a minute figuring the exact english spelling out and i also skipped like 5ish countries just because i dunno what theyre called in english (Littauen = Littuania or something, Kongo = ...Congo?, Marocco = ?)

Well by country I mean a sovereign state, an actual independent nation. While England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all constituent countries of the UK it really doesn't mean much today, they're essentially like the States of the US.

Had some hard time with the spelling of some of the names ._. Got 60. I think I would have done MUCH better if I had an empty map without names on it next to me.

I quickly glanced at the countries I had missed and noticed I failed our resident physics teacher.

With different national teams, sometimes different languages, different parliaments, different tv stations, different flags, very different accents, and lots of rivalry? To me, it's like saying France and Germany are just states of the same country, Europe.
But I guess, with a scot in power, there is a certain degree to which the parliament of the United Kingdom is not the parliament of England ><.

Does whales have different laws, or a different army than scotland? Lol you even live there, you are so stupid, haha!

Only a very small minority of people speak a language other than English. The parliaments have quite limited power, Westminster is the highest authority UK-wide. Sure there are different flags, but US States all have their own flag, the national flag is still the Union Flag, not the Saltire or whatever. So the BBC has different regional TV stations, I'm sure this happens in every country. People from the north and south of England speak with different accents, this makes them separate countries? Rivalries between different regions also exist in every country.
The national teams are pretty much the only thing that define them as separate countries and it was probably kept mostly for the classic England-Scotland rivalry in football and rugby and in some sports there are GB teams and there will undoubtedly be more in future.
France and Germany don't share the same government, language, national flag, TV channels, internet TLD code or anything else that a country generally has.

Yer well it should specify sovereign state instead of country or just include them all, cos Scotland/Wales/Nth Ireland are countries.
Also, GB is just the british isle, not ireland/nth ireland. North Ireland is covered in the UK I think. It is always just confusing as to which is the sovereign state because GB even enter events as Great Britain instead of the United Kingdom -_-

78, the names dont connect as easily in ur head tho when it comes to naming em in english
|
but all this sovereign state arguments are ridiculous because it is obvious that the list is NOT about sovereign states, since for example Greenland is a part of Denmark, Australian antarctica is probably under Australian rule etc.
