Scotland has its own national song 'Flower of Scotland' and Wales has its own national anthem ' Mae hen wlad fy nhadau'. In Northern Ireland and England, "God Save the Queen" is still used as the official anthem.

Shouldn't it be "God save the monarch"? After all it varies between King and Queen, depending on which imposter is on the throne at the time.

No, the whole comprises the parts and the parts compose the whole. Example: the Union comprises 50 states and 50 states compose the Union (thank you, American Heritage dictionary). “Is comprised of” is a less preferred construction.

No, I reckon it's more like they don't think of England being a country within the UK because they think them both to be the same thing. I've had many an argument (Usually with Americans) where they've insisted that England is the same as the UK and I've had to correct them

Both 'Land of Hope and Glory' and 'Rule Britannia' have extremely colonialist implications and probably aren't suitable to represent the country any more. Not that 'God Save the King' doesn't have its own issues, but still.

Nice easy quiz. But,

Sunak's no longer PM

NI isn't a country. it's not even a province. It's part of a province.

So the UK isn't 4 countries. It's two kingdoms, one principality and a bit of a province.
