Nouncountries
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In geography, a country is a geographical region. The term is often applied to a political division or the territory of a state, or to a smaller, or former, political division of a geographical region. Usually, but not always, a country coincides with a sovereign territory and is associated with a state, nation and government. The country can also mean the countryside, as opposed to the city. In common usage, the term country is used in the sense of both nations and states, with definitions varying. In some cases it is used to refer both to states and to other political entities, while in some occasions it refers only to states It is not uncommon for general information or statistical publications to adopt the wider definition for purposes such as illustration and comparison. Some cohesive geographical entities, which were formerly sovereign states, are commonly regarded and referred to still as countries; such as England, Scotland and Wales – in the United Kingdom. Historically, the countries of the former Soviet Union and Yugoslavia were others. Former states such as Bavaria (now part of Germany) and Piedmont (now part of Italy) would not normally be referred to as "countries" in contemporary English. The degree of autonomy of non-state countries varies widely. Some are possessions of states, as several states have overseas dependencies (such as the British Virgin Islands, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and American Samoa), with territory and citizenry distinct from their own. Such dependent territories are sometimes listed together with independent states on lists of countries, and may be treated as a "country of origin" in international trade, as Hong Kong is. Some countries are divided among several states, such as Silesia and Kurdistan. From Wikipedia under the

In America and Canada, (And where else?) 90% of cars are automatic, while in almost all other countries it is the opposite. Is that because a bulk of American roads are crowded highways or are more relaxed? Or is more agressive driving okay in other countries? Thanks. Asked by CARS - Thu Jun 19 12:07:26 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. yes i hate that most cars...it's more like 95% are automatic here in the U.S...it is mostly because of demand..whatever the public demands more and what ever sells more in a given location, the car manufacturer produces! in this case it's the U.S and auto transmissions. there aren't many real drivers here, people just want to get in the car, push the gas pedal and go, and that is not only talking about the elderly but sadly 99% of younger drivers are like that too, it is very rare to find a driver from the western world who is really into driving, or is even able to drive a manual, so next time you see a manual car pay attention to the driver...i bet he/she will be european, asian, or middle eastern...i don't mean to offend anyone, but… [cont.] Answered by duuuude17 - Thu Jun 19 12:30:19 2008 What countries in europe wear school uniform apart from england?
