Should we not have Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as separate entries? After all they each had separate teams in the Commonwealth Games? If so, I’ll do for Scotland as that is now my home (even though I am actually English!). P.S The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are not part of the UK so you should add them too. ---

As I said, I’m going with the countries as listed at [Member countries | Commonwealth](http://thecommonwealth.org/member-countries) If anyone from the Channel Islands posts, I’ll add them in too. Another Scot here - can we have a rep from each of England, Wales and Norn Iron for completeness’s sake? ---
