But they were
At least, that's how we translate them. When the British empire, all the pieces of land in your power, stoped being countries and became Britain. Same with the Romans, which didn't have countries in their empire, had provincies. When the Spanish empire, all of it was Spain, with several provincies too.

I don't agree with that
they were still countries

clearly our definitions of country are different (yours is wrong) so I should stop trying to argue this and do some work!

Hahaha
Oh, well, as far as Spain and Roman, I'm sure we didn't have countries, we had provincies. I'm not sure about the British, so I'll let you have that one right.
