Eway is an unknown quantity at this point
Default nation = country?

Is the concept of a "nation" exactly the same as a "country"?
Take U.K. for example,
it seems England, Scotland, Walse and Northern Ireland are all viewed as "a country" respectively.
Does this mean:
England = a country
Scotland = a country
Walse = a country
Northern Ireland = a country
England + Scotland + Walse + Northern Ireland = a nation
??
