UK Countries

[gustavoburbano]

First I want to thank you for your nice work here! This is very useful.

I lived in Wales for 2 years near Carmarthen, maybe I can help.
The issue with the UK is that it is a kingdom that has countries (which are England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Irland) and it is not divided as other countries generally are. Each of those countries are more or less independent in many aspects, for example, Wales has a different language that is called Welsh (very different than English), but most of the people speak English most of the time. Each country has a different Government and Scotland has even different currency notes.

the solution will be to have each country with their own states and cities as it should (like Country: Wales, state: Carmarthenshire, city: Carmarthen - everything ending in "shire" is a different state).
Currently, you have: Country UK, State: Wales, city: Carmarthen, but you have Carmarthenshire in the states and cities as well.

Country: Scotland
Capital: Edinburg
States in Scotland: http://www.gomapper.com/travel/list-of-states-and-regions-in/scotland.html

Country: Wales
Capital: Cardiff
states in Wales: http://www.gomapper.com/travel/list-of-states-and-regions-in/wales.html

Country: England
Capital: London
states in England: http://www.gomapper.com/travel/list-of-states-and-regions-in/england.html

Country: Northern Irland
Capital: Belfast
States in Northern Irland: http://www.gomapper.com/travel/list-of-states-and-regions-in/northern-ireland.html

Be aware of the following facts:

• Many states have a city called the same like Glasgow or Edinburg in Scotland; or London and others in England; or Swansea and Cardiff in Wales; of Belfast and many more in Northern Irland. I know that can be confusing :)
• Forget about The United Kingdom and Great Britain as it is more or less a way of describing the kingdom (one includes Northern Ireland and some ilands and the other doesn't). The other option is to delete England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Irland from States and say that all states belong to the UK. UK -> States -> Cities, instead of, UK -> Countries & States -> Cities connected to a country as it is now.

I hope this helps you!
This DB that you are creating will be very useful as it is quite difficult to find all the information put together.
