The United Kingdom is made up of Scotland, England, Wales and N. Ireland, so instead of four individual Kingdoms they became united under one King, therefore United Kingdom. <a class="h2heading h2" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" name="Treaty of Union">Treaty of Union</a>In January 1707. Known as the Treaty of Union and when it was passed the parliaments of Scotland and England ceased to exist. There would now be a Parliament of Great Britain. The majority of the Scots people did not want this but it was believed by the Scottish Parliament that it (Scotland) could no longer survive on its own. Something of Scotland's independence remained; it was to keep its own Church, Legal System, Education System, Royal Burghs and Courts and of course it already had its own culture and history. But the seat of government now moved 400 miles south (to London). In June 1713, Scots peers introduced a bill to repeal the Union. It was narrowly defeated. However, Scotland would regain its own Parliament (through a democratic vote) in 1997 with some powers devolved from the UK parliament in London.
If there are 192 countries in the world why are there 205 Olympic committees?
Well, basically a 'country' controls it's own territory absolutely and is not under any control from another country. An example 192 countries/205 Olympic committees question would be Bermuda. Bermuda is a territory of the United Kingdom. The Parliament of the United Kingdom has power over the territory of Bermuda, particularly in defense and national security issues. Also, Bermuda's power to govern themselves was granted by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Therefore, Bermuda is not recognized as a sovereign state, or 'country', but as a territory of the UK. The UK allows Bermuda to participate in sports as a separate entity. So Bermuda created their own National Olympic Committee and athletes from Bermuda compete under the flag of Bermuda. Another example is Hong Kong. They have their own National Olympic Committee and their athletes compete under the flag of Hong Kong. But the international community recognizes Hong Kong as a region of the People's Republic of China and not as an independent country. Just as the UK does with Bermuda, China gives Hong Kong much autonomy. But, if a country were to attack Hong Kong they would be, in essence, attacking China. Another example is Puerto Rico. Just like Bermuda and Hong Kong, they have their own National Olympic Committee. But the international community does not recognize Puerto Rico as a country but as a territory of the United States.
