":::::Not as such, but they are historical and actual countries with devolved governments. All this really proves is that it's difficult to find an exact parallel as the situation of the three countries of Britain (not to mention that bit of Ireland within the UK) are unique. Of those three countries, Wales and Scotland are in a very similar situation and any new infobox could be designed for those two countries, with room for minor differences. England and NI are a different matter. The latter is a country but has no devolved government - although the view from Scotland and Wales might be that there is little difference in between the UK government and what it is in effect and might become, i.e. the Government of England - and NI is a territory not a country, even if New Labour have tried to con people with this ""constituent countries"" nonsense by including NI, contrary to history and political reality (hey, Gerry Adams and David Trimble, is Northern Ireland a country and are the people of said territory a nation?). Let's work something out here and for Scotland, regardless of the situation in England and NI.
