Ron,
Then what do you recognize it as? If it is not a country what is it
officially?

Stuart,
That is very true. The problem is that we do not use nor recognise either
the Uk or Great Britain as a country.

Hi Jenny and all,
When I searched my database for Birkenhead (City), Cheshire (County),
England (State/Province), United Kingdom (Country) it was found in my
database and filled in the Core+ and Core fields exactly as that. I
don't know why you are having trouble.
I never have had the problems you are experiencing. If I just type in
Birkenhead in the City field and leave all of the rest of the fields
blank, I get four alternatives in the list from which I can select the
one I want. I get four choices as I have all of the databases
downloaded.
With regard to your specific example I have two entries to choose
from. Both have Cheshire as the County; both have England as the
State/Province. The difference between the two is that one has United
Kingdom as the country and the other has Great Britain. I choose to
have all of my "British" locations as being in the United Kingdom.

What annoys me is that you look up a UK location and it gives the town,
nothing under County and then puts the County under State/Province.
I can see the point of trying to make every country fit with the US
standard of 4 fields, but for UK addresses it would be preferable to
have England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland as the State/Province
and UK as the Country. It makes no sense at all to have an English
location such as Birkenhead,, Cheshire, England when there is no field
missing.
