£ is from a country that does not have states

Like the person you're replying to said, some people use state and country as synonyms sometimes

Technically no. Greenland is a country but not a state. It has a sovereign government but is not represented directly internationally. It is part of the Kingdom of Denmark which is a state but not a country. Then there is Denmark proper which is also a country but not a state.

I had no idea about any of this, thanks! Never thought a thread about prime video would teach me world geography lol

Next step: there’s a good argument to be made that the United States is not a nation. tldr: a nation is a group of people sharing ethnicity, language, culture. The United States is a country united by an idea, not an ethnicity.

Amazon is from a country that does.

But it IS a state. Sorry if you're not a native English speaker but just because your vocabulary is lacking doesn't mean they are wrong.
