Oh, God! Germany and France, for instance, are European countries (as part of the Europe continent) AND states of the EU. Not every country in Europe is state of the EU (part of the European Union) - such countries are Serbia, Switzerland and Norway.

I never claimed otherwise. All I asked was for people to name the current EU states. People took that and ran

Rise up Scotland rise, this is the beginning

I wonder will that mean they'll usher in the € over the £?

No sure. The UK says if Scotland leaves it can't take the sterling... so idk.

I guess we are so varied, it gets mixed up in different cultures and languages. All I'm saying is that it's a CORRECT term. So anyone getting offended needs to chill all the way out!

Or continue seething. It's all good with me and my hit thread

lmaoooo. Why don't they just open a dictionary?

I'll help them...

State:
a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government : the state of Japan. (this refers to any country/territory).
• an organized political community or area forming part of a federal government (this refers to the United States of America and the United States of Mexico)

The thread is three pages long sis. Read it, you might learn something

And what kind of thought process is that? So by that logic people can use the n-word, or call others derogatory terms. because some don't use the correct terminology?

K...

Defensive much

Your post implied that there's more than one definition of a 'state' in this context, and that the situation in the US has misled people to believing there is only one.

There is only one.

Come on guys, seriously? There are different kinds of states.

- Federated state, a political entity forming part of a federal sovereign state such as the USA, Australia, India and Brazil
- Sovereign state, a sovereign political entity in public international law; a society having exclusive domain over a territory
- Member state, a member of an international organization such as the UN, OPEC, EU and NATO

The Europeans that are getting mad are confusing member state with federated state, because of the USA.

in the context of the EUROPEAN UNION, they are called MEMBER STATES. otherwise, those territories are called COUNTRIES set in EUROPE.

c'est ça.
