Not that I'm bitter or anything....

Now that the flags have been added, can someone explain how England, in its current non-devolved state, is fundamentally different than a Canadian Province, an American State, or an Italian Region? It is governed by the UK Parliament, which is different than the condition that Scotland and Wales have been in for the past decade or so.
Not that it matters much to me beyond curiosity, but just that so much ado was made about it but it seems to me the site was not in err previously and I'd like to be enlightened by those who know more.
Are any Brits pondering this or is the lack of response supposed to indicate a lack of a difference? I have to think there is some sort of fundamental distinction that can be made.
Personally, my current use of the Flag of Wales is only to respect my heritage of long ago. (It's also a pretty cool flag.

) Issues from the perspective of History, Sociology, and Politics would I think be better answered by people from the UK. I will guess we might get a variety of answers from players living in England, Scotland, and Wales today. I would also find that thread an interesting read.
I do observe a fair number of YPI players who apparently live in the US but have a foriegn flag listed. (That's not even considering
ksnake ) I look at what I did the same as what they are doing.
I will point out that my use of the avatar
