    Technically Northern Ireland is not a constituent country, it’s officially just part of the UK proper. But that gets really confusing. This is also the reason it has no official flag.

    Before I check, let’s see if I’m right…

    England…wales…Ireland…Scotland…and I don’t think northern Ireland is considered part of the UK since it’s independent. Gonna look it up now.

      I got it backwards. Apparently Ireland is the independent one, northern Ireland is part of the UK. How embarrassing for me.

      Also, it’s the berenstain bears not berenstien.

        You shouldn’t feel embarrassed at all. Pretty much used the scientific method on your own memory

        You basically said “I might be wrong but I want to test my knowledge. Whoops, turns out I was wrong! Here is the result”

        You could have doubled down and made excuses or straight up deleted your comment but no, you called yourself out. If anything, you should be proud lol
