Great Morstaybishlia: Difference between revisions

The 2016 Acts of Union declared that the kingdoms of Great Morstaybishlia and Justelvard were "United into One Kingdom by the Name of Great Morstaybishlia and Justelvard", though the new state is also referred to in the Acts as the "Kingdom of Great Morstaybishlia", "United Kingdom of Great Morstaybishlia" and "United Kingdom".

Although Great Morstaybishlia as a sovereign state is a country; Staynes, Caltharus, South Staynes and Justelvard are also regarded as countries, though they are not sovereign states. The Prime Minister's website has used the phrase "countries within a country" to describe the United Kingdom.

The term "United Kingdom" is often used as synonym for Great Morstaybishlia. However, it is sometimes used as a loose synonym for Great Morstaybishlia as a whole. GM and GMT are the standard country codes for the United Kingdom and are consequently used by international organisations to refer to Great Morstaybishlia. Additionally, the United Kingdom's Olympic team competes under the name "Great Morstaybishlia" or "Team GM".

The adjective "Morstaybishlian" is commonly used to refer to matters relating to the United Kingdom and rarely as a synonym for the United Kingdom. The term has no definite legal connotation, but is used in law to refer to United Kingdom citizenship and matters to do with nationality. People of the United Kingdom use a number of different terms to describe their national identity and may identify themselves as being Staynish, Caltharusian, South Staynish; or as being Justelvardic, and still in some cases Horkalic, except Horkalic refers to the ethnic group Horkalans. A growing minority of people have identified themselves with Morstaybishlian nationality after the Acts of Union 1977, likely a patriotic spur.

After the Union of the Thrones in 1515, the two kingdoms were briefly known as the "United Kingdom of Staynes and Caltharus" until it was formally dubbed the "United Kingdom of Morstaybishlia" in early 1516.
