United Kingdom-Referring to England,Scotland,Wales,and Northern Ireland.

So in country selections it says United Kingdom (and this is on every site), the United Kingdom consists of England,Scotland,Wales,and Northern Ireland. Maybe in Scratch's country selection is could say for example: England (United Kingdom) and etc for the rest.

It says location, not country, and anyway the UK is, internationally speaking, a country.

No support. Then we'd have to do (Your State) United States, etc.

Yes, the UK is legally a country, even of we do often split up for sports and other tournaments.

I have noticed a bit of divide: some British people consider themselves English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish rather than British. Also, if Scotland get independence at any point (the SNP leader, Nicola Sturgeon predicted there would be another referendum fairly soon, in the grand scheme of things), we would need them to the list.

For now though, UK is fine.

They are only considered countries by the UK itself. Everywhere else, a country is the same thing as a nation state i.e. the UK.
