Re: [LegacyUG] Back to Basics

A number of people seem to have forgotten that language evolves.  "The 
State" used to mean what we mean by "country" now.  For a famous example - 
in French: "L'etat, c'est moi".  History has changed things, too; the states 
in the United States used to be as separate governments (the Commonwealth of 
Massachusetts, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) as England, Scotland and 
(originally)Wales, although all were under the the same royal rule.

Barry,
The 4 States you mention are COUNTRIES !
Jack in England.
John
Surely, in Britain you have - 4 'States' (England-Scotland-Wales-N 
Ireland),
Counties, Cities/Towns/Villages, and Districts/Parishes. This can be 
nicely
accommodated. {;-)
