Ukraine = UA

J'utilise ua pour ukraine quand je prends des notes

No Ukraine is UA

Ça va être dur quand il va falloir envoyer des colis en Irlande du Nord. Car celle-ci fait toujours partie de l'union douanière Européenne donc aucune formalité à faire. Cool ? Oui MAIS... À la poste Française : "Quel pays ?" "Royaume-Uni." "Alors il faut une déclaration douanière." "Non, en fait c'est l'Irlande du Nord." "Ah, l'Irlande ?? C'est un autre pays ça Monsieur !" "Du Nord." "Comment ça ?" "C'est une nation du Royaume-Uni." "Ah bon, alors il faut une déclaration douanière." "Non, c'est spécial..." "Heu... Moi c'est marqué Royaume-Uni = douanes.

Yep, weird standard indeed. Must feels weird for a Northern Irish to drive around with GB plates while literally not being from the island

@@counterleo those are now UK plates, or you can have your constituent country/territory. But if you don't do the UK ones you need the sticker when going abroad.

And with a random system, GB might have stand for Gibraltar which technically is part of... UK, so, not so bad?

French governmental websites/services don't like standards and good programming practices, because why the fuck not pay millions of euros to some MSPs to produce an unmaintainable code with the quality and the speed of a 10th grader ? Oh and you repeat that for each fucking website you do, while making sure it's a different MSP each time.

Je comprends pas. Pourquoi ils utilisent pas les noms iso ou insee ? Ou même le pays en toute lettre !

You also have a great "french trying to speak english" accent btw ;)

Specifically Wales was initially conquered way back in 1283 and held in essentially personal union: the king of england was the prince of wales, though most of it was administered by the marcher lords, and while english criminal law applied welsh civil law otherwise remained. Wales revolted in the early 15th century, and after crushing the welsh rebellion England decided that the reason for the revolt was the existence of a distinct welsh identity, so decided to formally annex Wales, unifying the legal, political and administrative systems (= applying English everything to Wales, including replacing Welsh as the language of the courts). From there on and until the the start of devolution Wales effectively didn't exist. In 1979 Wales actually voted against devolution 4:1 (a second referendum would pass, barely, in 1997). Scotland however, entered a bipartite *political union* with England (the Treaty of Union, voted on by both the Scots Parliament and the Parliament of England) after a century of personal union: James VI King of Scots inherited the throne of England, so he was the sole monarch of two separate and independent countries (three when you include the Kingdom of Ireland) each with their otherwise separate political and legal systems. Ireland somewhat likewise (the Act of Union was voted on in 1800), except it then managed to prosecute a mostly successful war of independence.

Thanks for the precision

@DSQueenie Wales was never "a part on England" which is why it's "England AND Wales".

It’s a reference to #Franglais

Poor Wales...

That's why they're not on the flag. That town is the reason lol

Ah non, le Canada c'est plutot les Provinces Unies ! Ah, mais c'est déjà les Pays Bas ça...

Groupes nominaux et donc on dit LE Royaume Uni et LES États Unis 😉

The USA was called so because the intention was that the other countries would join the USA instead of becoming their own countries when they got their independence. As we now know, things didn't turn out how the Founding Fathers had planned.

Royaume Uni est un diminutif, le nom du pays c'est Royaume-Uni de Grande Bretagne et d'Irlande du Nord.......

Not for international codes which are the ones used for official documents

@@KaotikBOOO which noone knows about and so we don't use them in conversation

Avec une particularité pour l'Irlande puisque c'est toute l'ile que représente l'équipe qui participe au tournoi.

C'est des pays ,mais pas dans le sens "Admis a l'ONU" ,Un pays c'est un territoire au sein d'un autre territoire ,les habitant du pays ont une spécificité que n'ont pas les gens du territoire (Qui englobe le pays) ,ça peut être qu'il parle une autres langues ,qu'ils aient une autres religions ,une spécificité physique aussi comme une grande taille ,ou qu'ils produise quelque de spécifique qui n'est pas vraiment produit dans le reste du pays ou qu'ils ont un savoir-faire. Et il y a aussi les spécificité géographique/environnementale ,ou sociale. Moi par exemple je viens du Pays du Vimeu qui est un pays en Picardie ,département Français ,la spécificité c'était une spécificité de type industrielle ,et c'était dans la Serrurerie et la Robinetterie (Après aujourd'hui ça a disparu puisque la France n'a plus d'industrie) ,une autres spécificité du Vimeu ,c'est la Craie et l'Argile de Silex (Géographique) Par exemple juste dans la région Picardie ,il y a 22 Pays (Pour 3 Département au total) Juste dans la région Hauts-de-France (Donc inclus la Picardie) ,il y a 61 pays (Sur 5 départements) (Il y a en énormément ici tous simplement parce que c'était la région Industrielle de la France a l'époque) Alors que l'Auvergne-Rhones-Alpes (2,2 fois plus grande que les Hauts-de-France et ils ont 12 départements) n'ont que 55 pays . A la base les pays en France ,c'était des spécificité linguistique (Surtout Dialectales) géopgraphique et physique et puis l'industrialisation en a créé plus ,avec des zone qui se spécialise dans un type de production ,de savoir-faire . Mais dans les Îles Britanniques ,la spécificité était plutôt linguistique.(Même s'ils ne parlent plus leur langues ,ça reste des pays ,déjà parce qu'ils ont un accent spécifique (Et oui ça compte) mais surtout parce même si la spécificité disparais ,tant que toute le monde n'a pas oubliées le fait que c'était un pays qui avait une spécificité ,alors cela reste un pays)

@@plumebrise4801 ils ont toujours leurs langues spécifiques. Pour le Gaélique écossais, effectivement, je ne sais pas si beaucoup le parle, mais le Gallois (Cymraeg) et l'Irlandais (Gaeilge) sont parlés et aussi enseignés dans les écoles y compris des écoles dont la langue principale est la langue locale. Les institutions (gouvernent) ont un nom dans la langue du pays pas en anglais. On est pas aans le cas du Breton, du Basque ou d'autres langued régionales en France...

It's because Wales for along time was not considered a country in it's own right until devolution. It's why it's legal system is the same as England's. A lot of things now say "England and Wales" for that reason. For a long time, Wales was just considered a territory of England. An area that the Prince and future King of England would get to play with and control as they learn how to be a monarch.

@@kgapaneseschoolgirlb Thanks a lot for your explanation 👍

As a New Zealander, I feel it is my duty to question the "best team in the world" claim...

@@AidestheKiwi may be the "world" is just the North hemisphere ? ;-)

@@AidestheKiwi That's fair !!! 😂

ireland never even went to the final of the world cup when new zealand won it 3 times south africa also 3 times australia 2 times england one time and france was 3 times in final. no other nation went to the final.

The best rugby team in the world is french, sorry guys... :D

Because Scotland is still part of the UK!

It's be better to be black. It would look cooler, blue is basically just a light shade of black (in some languages that is literally the translation of the word "blue") so it makes sense in that regard to just make the blur darker, so dark it's black. And the main reason is because the Welsh cross of David has a black background. The Welsh cross of David is also a yellow cross so perhaps making the white around the English cross yellow might also be nice. But Scottish independence is still unlikely to happen anytime soon, nor is Wales likely to get representation on the flag unfortunately...

Explain please what you mean by DOM and TOM to a foreigner and maybe some French

ça fait un bail que c'est plus le cas, c'est "l'outre-mer", donc il y a les départements et régions d'outre-mer, les collectivités d'outre-mer, une collectivité sui generis, un territoire d'outre-mer et une propriété domaniale de l'état.

@@josianecoste8740 DOM and TOM have actually evolved in the recent years I believe. But in a nutshell, they both refer to overseas French territories. Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion would be DOM (Department d'Outre Mer) and places like Mayotte or Nouvelle Caledonie would be TOM (Territoire d'Outre Mer). My brother lives in St Martin, on the French side of the island (which shares a border with the Netherlands, for good measure). They used to be attached to Guadeloupe (DOM) but now have received some sort of independence from it, all the while remaining French. Know what? Paul's right, this is all SHIT :D

Even going down this path, UK is even more of a mess: there are also other territories (Falklands, Gibraltar...), and then there's the commonwealth thing, some of the belonging countries having Charles as their sovereign, while other ones not...

Oula un séparatiste

I have never heard anyone referring to the four countries of the UK as counties: Certainly not in the UK. What you may have heard in the past (and unfortunately still today) is some people in England - and only in England - referring to the other three countries as "regions". This regularly causes outspoken annoyance in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the UK government has been forced to change its practice and publish all public statistics for "the countries of the UK and the regions of England". The Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are not part of the UK. They are autonomous Crown Dependencies. They have their own governments, their own laws, print their own banknotes, issue their own passports. However their people do have British citizenship and the UK government takes charge of foreign policy and defence for them. Wales is recognised as a country because although it was under English control ever since the 14th century, it was not incorporated into England's administrative and legal system until 1536. Cornwall, on the other hand, was already under the control of English kings from as far back as the 9th century.

No. Because this whole sketch is nothing more than that: a sketch. No french would think UK means Ukraine, that's the weirdest thing I ever heard, but even less that ANG means Angola, come on, nobody will think "Angola" before "Angleterre". Source: I'm french, born and raised

England is a country

@@anriettecooper6935 no United kingdom is a country.
