Political entities like the Soverign Military Order of Malta is not a country, as there is no permanent population. Noal Cheilei ( talk) 00:34, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Shajure, do you take issue with the content of any of my contributions to this article? Based on your edit description, it seems that you reverted my contributions simply because you didn't like how "complex" my additions were. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 17:47, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Please be wary of making large edits after the ongoing POV-push/disruption by a variety of IP addresses. It takes wayyy too much time to remove the sown confusion without throwing out good edits. Shajure ( talk) 15:30, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
Please give reference to when Wales was a country. 41.243.30.10 ( talk) 19:21, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
Please give reference to when Wales was a country. Francis Hannaway ( talk) 19:29, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
It is a definite Wikipedia weakness when people can vote to change a legal definition. I would imagine that only Welsh editors voted. Whatever next? Francis Hannaway ( talk) 10:41, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
I am going to attempt to get this article to GA status (given The wub's generous prize offer here) and would welcome collaborative efforts from anyone else interested. —Ganesha811 ( talk) 22:28, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

To reinstate "Often, a country is presumed to be identical with a collection of citizens. Sometimes, people say that a country is a project, or an idea, or an ideal. Occasionally, philosophers entertain more metaphysically ambitious pictures, suggesting that a country is an organic entity with its own independent life and character, or that a country is an autonomous agent, just like you or me. Such claims are rarely explained or defended, however, and it is not clear how they should be assessed. We attribute so many different kinds of properties to countries, speaking as though a country can feature wheat fields waving or be girt by sea, can have a founding date and be democratic and free, can be English speaking, culturally diverse, war torn or Islamic.". It's within {{ blockquote}} and taken directly from a published source, but Treetoes023 had altered its text regardless. 85.215.201.79 ( talk) 06:23, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
I am confused as to why articles about countries do not contain maps. There is usually a map showing the location in the world, but no actual map of the country itself. This seems very weird to me. What is the reasoning here? 77.158.245.187 ( talk) 03:17, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
International recognition of the State of Palestine
So they should be red in the second map now
Hungcesner ( talk) 14:23, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
On May 10, 2024, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution that recognized that Palestine met the requirements for UN membership, and requested that the Security Council reconsider admitting the state. It also granted Palestine additional rights at the UN, including being seated with member states, the right to introduce proposals and agenda items, and participate in committees, but did not grant them the right to vote.[93][94]"
