A country is a geographical region considered to be the physical territory of a sovereign state, or of a smaller, or former, political division within a geographical region. Usually, but not always, a country coincides with a sovereign territory and is associated with a state, nation or government. In common usage, the term is used in the sense of both nations and states, with definitions varying. In some cases it is used to refer both to states and to other political entities, while in some occasions it refers only to states. It is not uncommon for general information or statistical publications to adopt the wider definition for purposes such as illustration and comparison. Some cohesive geographical entities, which were formerly sovereign states, are commonly regarded and referred to still as countries; such as England, Scotland and Wales – in the United Kingdom. Historically, the countries of the former Soviet Union and Yugoslavia were others. Former states such as Bavaria (now part of Germany) and Piedmont (now part of Italy) would not normally be referred to as "countries" in contemporary English. The degree of autonomy of non-state countries varies widely. Some are possessions of states, as several states have overseas dependencies (such as the British Virgin Islands (GBR) and Saint Pierre and Miquelon (FRA)), with territory and citizenry distinct from their own. Such dependent territories are sometimes listed together with independent states on lists of countries, and may be treated as a "country of origin" in international trade, as Hong Kong is.

Q. I reckon Scotland is the best country in terms of beauty of the landscape. There is the endless Lochs, Munro's, Waterfalls and fantastic mountains and scenery in the top half of Scotland (the Highlands region). The coastline around Scotland seems to have so much more in wildlife and beauty also than other parts of the UK. Wales and Ireland are nice also but Scotland has so much more. England has some lovely places and things to see also of course but the vast majority of England seems to be bland and flat to me. I am interested to hear if other people agree, or to put forward their argument for other countries. So what do you think is the nicest country in terms of landscape in the UK / GB?
