There is (or should that be are?) the
Estados Unidos Mexicanos (United States of Mexico) so that 'A' is very necessary to avoid confusion
. On the other hand, I cannot think of any other unified Monarchies that rule three geographically concentrated yet sovereign nations (England, Scotland and Wales). Is there any other nation that can send more than one team to The World Cup?
- and we all know which one I mean by this!
