Oh please don’t Bill!! Scotland is a country, as is England, France etc etc.
The only thing that is wrong is a system that tells you that all locations obey the 4 field rule. Ie everywhere is the same as the USA. We in the UK have accepted for a long time that we just have to put our locations in correctly and accept that the software thinks we are wrong. We are not wrong and we should enter data in the most meaningful way possible – very similarly to the way you would put it on an envelope (where you would never write Great Britain, GB, UK etc). The Geo database is USA centric and that is a shame.

I dont think my Grandad would be impressed with Scotland being demoted from Country to State - but that can be our secret .....
