@reezevlog Nope. Not geography, politics. There are several countries in the UK, much like there are numerous states in the USA.

@yomer355 So you've got a Ukrainian flag on your profile, but come out with this? Ironic! The Ukraine was once part of the so called Fourth World too. In fact, the USSR was made up of a number of non-Russian nations, even though many people incorrectly referred to it as "Russia".

@yomer355 I brought it up, because you're totally unconscious of the parallel. Forty years ago, you would have likely told us Ukrainians weren't a nation either, because they weren't sovereign. Sometimes such places are called the Fourth World. Actually some Welsh nationalists consider British sovereignty there to be completely illegitimate. Ditto Cornwall. They have tried to set up bodies which reflect that view.

@heavy_peace8872 Parts of South Wales can have a kind of "Soviet" feel or did two or three decades ago, especially the former mining and steel towns. Same with some places in and around Glasgow, and some northern English towns... you had one party rule in some places, brutalist architecture and large estates of high rises like in the former Soviet Union. They used to call Lanarkshire "Lanarkstan" in some places because of the way the places were run.

@cristian9447 Only if you're globalist.

@TomCamies Manufactured offence, since Slavic languages do not have articles, except Sorbian... neither Russian nor Ukrainian have them, so the idea that it was created by Moscow is ludicrous. It's no more offensive than translating Эрмитаж, the famous museum in St. Petersburg as "the Hermitage". It is normal and inoffensive to add in articles when rendering Slavic names into English. If you were as right on as you pretend to be, you'd refer to it as Ukraïna, not Ukraine. Also, the Crimea? If you entertain any ideas about the article with that one, you'll find the article was used in English for that over two hundred years ago. So yes, you have just made that up! Wish you folk would do your homework like Greta.

@TomCamies p.s. As you well know, its Soviet title (in English) was the Ukrainian SSR. "The Ukraine" is documented in English long before the Bolsheviks.
