Well, it's kind a tricky. There are not really countries. They are part 
of the United Kingdom. They have some indepedence, like local 
parliaments and such, but they don't have their passports or their own 
army, for example. In some sport events, they also appear as countries 
(like in soccer and rugby).

But strictly speaking they are not countries, as can be checked in the 
list of country ISO codes:

No Scotland or Wales there... so it wouldn't even be possible to fill 
the static_countries table properly.

Cheers
