It has. I've been tweaking bits of it for months now. Look for ID 24428706. > This is just an indication of the conflicted definition of country, > nation, and national.

The word "country" needn't be a stumbling block here. That's just language. In German, "Land" can mean "Bundesland" just as often as it means "country". But we can't go tagging UK internal borders the same way as we do those of sovereign states, because it doesn't accurately depict reality. There are plenty of people in Ireland who would resent the Irish border being described as an international one, but sovereignty is a well understood concept that has to be reflected accurately on the map.
