Source?

>They all have ambassadors.

Do you have a list?

>They are called embassies.

The links you posted doesn't call them that

>The Republic of Somaliland

Which isn't recognized by any UN member.

>Bhutan doesn't have an embassy, is that not a country

Bhutan has embassies. https://www.mfa.gov.bt/embassies-missions-and-consulates-abroad/ Notice how those places have "embassy" in their names.

>They are legitimate countries, they have borders, they have languages, completely different cultures, completely different people, different landscapes, different climates.

Which is the case for many federalistic subdivisions.

>If you went to Scotland wearing someone else's family tartan (tartan is a family crest, each tartan is unique and means something specific, usually a family name) you'd get the shit kicked out of you. Each Scottish family has a unique tartan.

I fail to see how this is relevant for this discussion.

>An Irish person in Wales would experience a vast amount of cultural differences, the same could not be said of a Floridian in California.

Cultural differences exist independently from countries.

Country - a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory.

Scotland - 790 Islands, and the mainland, nation of 5.46 million, £166 billion.

Northern Ireland - nation of 1.9 million, £49 billion

Wales - nation of 3.26 million, £98.3 billion.

England - nation of 56 million, £1.859 trillion.

They are different countries, moron.

You've provided 0 evidence supporting anything you're saying, I've provided multiple sources showing that they're countries.

Independence and embassies doesn't = a country.

Palestine isn't recognised by the U.N. but is obviously still a country.
