You must be from the USA. I think you have a promising career lined up in one of the future administrations of your land with ridiculous questions like this one. As Homer Simpson would say....DOHHH!

Not in a strict sense. It has it's own language and culture, but legally it is not a separate country. It belongs to the UK, and has since 1707.
