"It's silly to refuse to use the term "United Kingdom" simply because you disapprove of the monarchy."

You may think it silly but it's not your country. I refuse to see my self as a 'subject' of anyone as, I believe, did Americans before the War of Independence. That, however, is just a personal opinion and not the main point - which is that, as Scotland and Wales in particular, are demanding, and getting, greater autonomy ( and also bearing in mind historical resentments and nationalistic pride)is there a more acceptable name that we can all be proud of?
