I had originally posted here a dictionary definition of the word "country". After seeing what ensued as a result, I decided to edit my post, and delete the definition.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The thing about Wake Island is, as someone pointed out, it's a territory. I mean, that's what it is COMMONLY referred to as. No one in their right mind would ever say they're going to the country of Wake Island. Just because the dictionary "technically" calls Wake Island a country doesn't necessarily make it one according to governing & very important bodies like the United Nations, the CIA, the White House. I'll actually put forth this challenge: find three official government documents that refer to the "country of Wake Island."
I mean if we're gonna go by dictionary definitions then how come we all don't call ourselves gay on a regular basis?
Come on, let's be gay!!!
Eastern Kansas
(according to dictionary that's a country 1 : an indefinite usually extended expanse of land : REGION)

It is unproductive to argue about this. I am now editing my post in which I quoted the dictionary definition.
may God bless you all.

Greater St. Louis area? That would "qualify" under the dictionary definition, right?
