Fair enough.

"Four countries is one country" has the same level of abstraction; "50 states is one country" (or in reverse, the EU can be seen as "27 countries one state" if you squint and are a bit vague with definitions) is different kinds of abstraction.

Pizza is a possible pizza topping, but it's also weird.

Largely because of where the tax is booked, due to many companies having their headquarters office in London.

Most of the Oil revenue is raised in Scotland, what would the balance look like if that was booked in Edinburgh instead?
