I think the closest analogy would be the situation of Quebec within Canada. There are people within Quebec who see themselves as seperate identity, might prefer to say they are Quebecois rather than Canadian but legally Quebec is a region (province) within Canada.

Edit: just realised Takk has said the same thing.

Scotland's not a region within the United Kingdom though. Scotland is a nation within the United Kingdom.

I know, but for the purposes of explaining it, it's close enough, not a perfect analogy.

Edit: Myself and Mr Takk seem to be in sync tonight

Well, to be fair to Looke or Takk, it probably wasn't just my "location" that set them off, more likely the fact that I did say that I wasn't from the UK.

I think the word you're looking for is "provinces", but yeah, I totally get what you mean. I just think from my perspective it's a little more clear-cut then then the UK. Like I said hun, didn't mean to offend anyone here (so sorry if I have), I was only curious and I think you fine folks set the record straight and I appreciate that.
