    Personally, I think wireless whales would be more exciting....

    Close... Actually, England and Scotland are seperate countries.

    Odd...Neither the CIA Country Factbook nor the UN Stat. Division lists Scotland as a country.

    No they're not separate countries (much though the scottish would like it to be so) they're separate provinces. Scotland has its own parliament, but shares many of the laws with the rest of the island (basically they get UK law until they decide to override it, although they have no power to override certain laws such as military stuff).

    Wales is completely dependent on the mainland. Its 'Assembly' is just a talking shop with no real power.

    The separate provinces make up the single country of the UK, or 'Britain'.
