It makes EU think

England - 19 Gold, 10 Silver, 15 Bronze
Scotland - 4 Gold, 7 Silver, 2 Bronze
Wales - 4 Gold, 6 Silver, 0 Bronze
Northern Ireland - 0 Gold, 0 Silver, 0 Bronze

If the country were to split like so many Europeans have being whining about (it's so unfaaaair), England would be 4th, still the top European nation, Scotland and Wales would be 19th and 20th above the likes of Greece, Canada and Sweden and Northern Ireland would be a fucking disgrace like Albania and Uruguay.

It really does make you think.

So what does Northern Ireland actually do?

How are you assigning team medals?

Get blown up by the IRA

Send a few taig boxers to compete for roi

Scotland/Wales get those medals at the weekend

We've got more than 4 golds m8.

We've carried team GB this Olympics.

>3 million people
>4 gold medals

>more gold medals than millions of people

per capita truly is the patrician stat, feels good

England population: 53.01 million
Scottish population: 5.295 million

So by bong's favorite meme to spout Scotland absolutely destroyed Englel

Not quite, the Scots love to claim team efforts as their golds.

Regardless we're both still blowing America out per capita.

>Wales population 3.06 million
really makes you think

...

>Scotland and Wales
>managing to get as high as 19th or 20th without England's money

All that would happen is they would plummet down the table and England would use the funding to send more athletes

Who's the channel islander?

Drain resources

Equestrian bloke. Can see athletes from England, Scotland etc here.

poor people play the national lottery too m8, more than wealthy people desu

They compete for Ireland.

Only 1 of those was in an individual event, the other 3 were all in teams with English people on

>Jade Jones - all on her own
>Hannah Mills - 1/2 Welsh team
>Elinor Barker - 1/4 Welsh team
>Owain Doull - 1/4 Welsh team

desu, I just deducted Wales and Scotlands team medals from England's total, so it'd actually be higher if done properly.

Cav

Provoke the Irish, it's worth holding onto them purely out of spite.

Cav's Isle of Man, m8

Pretend they're going to compete for Ireland and then pull out because """"""Zika""""""

Not really. It's messy. "Team Ireland" is the Republic of Ireland's team. If it was all Ireland, they wouldn't use the tricolor.

It's confusing for certain sports though. Hockey and rugby for example are run by cross border associations so Northern Irish players, despite being UK citizens, only make themselves available to Ireland.

In most sports they have a choice, because under the Good Friday Agreement all Norther Irish people are entitled to Irish citizenship. Boxers tend to be Catholic/nationalist so they declare for Ireland. There are other controversial situations though. Take rowing: run by IARU on a cross-border basis, with southern money going towards nothern regattas and heads, but then Northern Irish rowers tend to declare for Britain because there's more money, so the IARU are basically wasting their money on under-age development of people that have no intention of ever rowing for them.

So, like I said, it's a mess.
