Are you the UK? No, you're someone who lives there. The UK is a state.
Dude identifes as a country
New gender just dropped
Let’s not even get into the legitimacy of a state calling itself “The UK of GB and NI” when they’d have a tough time proving NI is entirely onboard
That’s just every country, isn’t it? Seems like most of Spain has separatist movements; Provence and Brittany and Burgundy retain their sub-national identities; probably some in Tobago want to split from Trinidad. If Northern Ireland joined Eire no doubt the Loyalists would start clamouring to reverse that.
A lot of GB isn't either, to be fair.
It should be renamed to, London plus all surrounding bits of land that we don't care about. It's a bit of a mouthful but it would be a more accurate name
