China is connected by land to Europe. So… Is a Chinese National moving to France technically “overseas”? I mean technically you could tavel by land there?

🤔🤔🤔

the dictionary is a lie…

        Does a nation cease to exist after it is conquered? All the efforts to that effect by the English notwithstanding, it’s still there.

          I did not intend to imply that it did. That’s why I said “one other nation” apart from the kingdom, since the nation of Wales was incorporated into the Kingdom at the time.

          I suppose with “until the two nations joined” I did accidentally classify the Kingdom of England as a single nation. My sincerest apologies. I have corrected the error.

            Not to worry! And thank you for this civilized exchange that managed to stay clear of Godwin’s Law:)
