*Scotland IS a country, Karen* (a great country over a thousand years
older than Germany - well, even the USA is an older country than
Germany!), whatever you and Sony Corp may believe (or wish others
believed). How can it be that new countries, such as Bosnia and Kosovo
and other countries only recently emerged from bloody wars, are now
being accepted as legitimate countries by the politically-motivated
using as tools lists such as this (for the purposes of ISO 639 currently
under joint US-Austrian control), who refuse to accept as legitimate
countries so many peaceful old countries with their own ancient legal
and admistrative systems, such as Scotland is?
