6 Nations Rugby Tournament

You may well think of yourself as a Coloradan first and American second, so it is over here - the Brits occupy the island of Great Britain and comprise of Welsh Scots and English who live in and move around - you get Scots in Wales and English in Scotland etc etc.

I think what you're saying is a bit misleading here. In regards to National identity the state I live in has nothing to with with my national identity. My passport lists me as a US citizen, not a Coloradoan. If the US is playing Mexico in the World Cup I am pulling for the US, not Colorado.

Now if someone invaded America and colonized my country then I am sure my passport may be a bit more muddled. And there may be some national anthem playing issues.

It would be like being from co cork in ireland. Cork is my county, not my nationality. What you're proposing is that these nations have dual national identity. What I am saying is that I don't think that is necessarily appropriate.
