I thought I'd post this to see how many countries anyone could find. 1 country per post would be good, otherwise somebody will claim every well-known country in a single fell swoop

All right, I'll start

USA

Of course it is!
So are Wales, Ireland and Scotland.

Together they form a Kingdom. Let's call it a United Kingdom.

Do you have to show you passport to go between UK and Scotland? Do they all have completely different laws, police forces, armies and leaders?

That's how I define a country
