People keep calling Scotland etc countries but really let's be honest everybody else calls it a federal state. There's really no huge sufficiently large functional difference between Wales and Niedersachsen, Kansas or Alberta. It's as if Nordrhein-Westfalen had their own world cup football team, it's nuts.

I love the terminology that we end up with. Scotland is a country within the UK, which is also a country and also a sovereign state.
