Why is England on that list? It's not an independent country, it's a part of Britain (the only part that doesn't have its own parliament, as well).
On that note, I'll get you lot to guess where I'm from - the nation that founded Britain (hint: it's not England).
It works all the same, basically
In that case, America shall now be referred to as Washington. Anyone who thinks England, that was the nation that lost its independence when the UK was founded, is Britain is wrong. Simple as that. It's effectively a conquered state, even though the conquest wasn't military, and has had no political power of its own for four hundred years.
Granted, a conquered state on average richer and for the most part more powerful than the nation of the king that took the English throne, but a conquered state nonetheless.

Besides the part about being from England, I'm in exactly the same position
