That's good to know. Since we have to keep reminding
you British that we don't *have* a country.
We have 50 States. Britian has a country, but
it doesn't have bears, lobsters, or bear rifles.


No, Britain *is* a country (note spelling). It does have lobsters and why
would we need Bear Rifles if we dont have any bears?


Great Britain is an Island. Teh united kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland is a country. Arguably Scotland is some kind of
"country" But I dont think "britain" qualifies as a country. It is
accepted that citizens of the UK are described as "British"
