Wouldn't it make sense to have matching countries for Country of Origin and SRP??

CoO uses United Kingdom whereas SRP uses Great Britain.

BTW, posting this in the Feature Requet forums would feel odd

It does not matter to me since I translated both of them to "Groot-Brittannië", so I do not see any difference.

It's one of those historical things. The UK is now really known as the UK not GB anymore, but we still have GB Pound, not UK Pound. Same way we cling onto our lbs & oz's and miles.

So as a UK resident I'm happy with the disparity personally. Feel free to translate how you want in your native language.

Actually it's

"The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"

by which account, UK & GB are not the same; in that GB is England, Scotland & Wales, but not N.I.

I think you're correct, as wikipedia says the same thing as you.

As does my grammar school first-year Geography classwork book, dated circa 1965.........Yup, I'm one of those sad muppets who has kept 'em & I've just checked.......it then goes on to describe the "Hampshire Basin", the bit around Southampton & Portsmouth, which was my introduction to "jograffy"....I disliked the subject intensely & gave it up two years later!

I wanted to keep doing it, but wasn't allowed to. I was told I had to do a language instead.
