I applaud jetpunk for using Eswatini, which is the Swazi name for the country known in English as Swaziland, since the country has requested to be henceforth referred to by that name in international institutions. At some point, you'll have to explain to me why the same logic doesn't apply to Côte d'Ivoire.

Can anyone please tell me why England is never accepted as a separate country on here. It’s always United Kingdom. United Kingdom is made up of four countries..England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It’s a bit of an insult saying United Kingdom is one country.

When the word "country" is used on this website, it probably means "sovereign state"; the UK is a sovereign state that the countries England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales are a part of.

East Timor (Timor-Leste) is very debatable even if the common name is East Timor, the official name is Timor-Leste.
