Eswatini isn't called Swailand anymore so that doesn't count anymore. Also Scotland is not a recognized country, rather its part of the UK, so it also doesn't count.

Scotland and don't say it's part of the UK, Scotland is it's own country, same as England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Level 63

Apr 17, 2024

Scotland is absolutely part of the United Kingdom. "Country" in the modern context typically is meant to mean "independent state", however the word is also the name of the first level subdivisions of the United Kingdom, which is where some confusion arises. So while Scotland may be a "country", it is not an independent state and has not been in at least 300 years.
