      @@jameshazelwood9433 Yes, but the meaning of the term 'nation' is _twofold: _*_geographical/cultural_*_ and_ *political*. The former refers to a collection of people of common attributes (e.g., shared culture, descent, history, language, geography, beliefs, etc.), so technically it is synonymous with 'ethnicity'. For example, 'the Roman Catholic nation'. Whereas, the latter refers to your political _nationality_ -- of what countr(y/ies) you have legal citizenship of. This is listed in your birth certificate and passport. For example, 'British', 'U.S.A.', and 'Canadian'.
      Definitely, the geogaphical/cultural nationality of Wales is 'Welsh', but its political/legal nationality is 'British'.

Being British is geographical and means you are from the Island of Britain it is not national like being European is not national although if you are from an EU member state then obviously you live politically under that Union like the Welsh live under the UK Union

If they really are countries, what is "the UK" then? Why are they not called "regions" or "states" like in the USA which would make more sense to me.
      I'm from Russia which is the name of the country. All of its constituent entities, depending on different factors, belong to a certain type (oblast', krai, republic, etc).

    Hi Tom!
    May be you will be more feedbacking man: there is one very interesting and big theme - it's about "Home Counties" in Britain. See, please: would you mind telling us how to pronounce for example:
    1. Surrey (I always call it "Suh- rrr- ay", but not "Sah- rih"). And Surrey consists of:
    - Addlestone
    - Runnymede
    - Spelthorne
    - Waverley
    - Woking
    2. Leicestershire:
    - Melton
    - Oadby and Wigston
    - Harborough
    - ...etc.
    It would be very helpful - how to say all of Britain places :) And not only RP English! How it sounds in other dialect too.

      @@Snusaddict98 England, Ireland and Scotland were separate countries, which is why the Union Jack is made up of the three national flags from each nation.
      Wales on the other hand was (and still is many ways), a principality of England.
      Yet, the Welsh feel unified enough to recognise an individual anthem and flag.
      Northern Ireland has neither of these things because no attempts of unification had been employed by Stormont prior to the GFA.

    Hi, Tom. You're an open book! You couldn't have explained it better! Many British people I know (a mate from Essex) says he was "English" and not "British", but many Northern Irish people identify themselves as more "Irish" than "British".

    What I've always found confusing is how England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are each their own countries with their own capitols and parliaments yet they come together to form a single sovereign state. That's pretty unique, right? Am I wrong in saying that would be like Canada, US, and Mexico joining to create a single sovereign state on the world stage? Are there any other instances of this?

    Thank you for making this video. This has always been a confusing subject for someone who prides themselves on geography. I think may need to review this just to get it straight. I had always wondered why I saw that white flag with the red cross across it at some Chess tournaments representing England, and then the common UK 🇬🇧 flag. Ugggg
