    England is England. They have laws going back until before any of that. There’s continuity all the way. Joining a union does not mean your country stops existing.

      It does in the sense that it stops being a country and becomes a part of a country. There’s no country called England today.

        England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.

        According to Wikipedia, anyway. I’m not sure what you think England is.

          That is… Fair enough. I guess I don’t understand the UK political system. Anyway that pushes us back to the mid-17th century when they tried their hand at being a Republic for a while.
