The people who call them states are Unionists. To people who support the Dissolution of the United Kingdom, this is seen as Offense and sometimes Bullying. Why they they call them that is because none of the are proper countries. Answer I don't know where Tharnton 345 comes from but I would advise him not to come up here and tell us Scotland is not a proper country. We are really quite nice people but do not push us too far.
