When people talk about Russia, they mean Russia. When people talk about Ukraine, they mean Ukraine (no longer called The Ukraine, as it was called when it was no more than a region within the Soviet Union), when they dicuss Belorus, they mean Belorus....
Have a look at the news, Russia is never mistakingly used in place of some of the former members of the USSR...
I didn't mean that they now refer to it incorrectly, but that they USED TO. You can't deny that in films, tv, etc that up until the breakup of the CCCP people would refer to them collectively as "the Russians"... :)

I'll throw another one into the bag for free: FORMER Yugoslavia... :D

Great Britain is england,wales,scotland and northern ireland i believe, therefore being a brit doesnt make you english, thats like calling someone asian because they are actually mongolian or something


p.s. couldnt think of another place that has a name for a collective of countries
I always thought great Britain was England, Wales and Scotland. I thought the United Kingdom was England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. :)

Could be wrong.
