Netherlands!

Groups of islands can class as countries, but not all islands do. Think a country is defined by having its own official flag but dont quote me!

Groups of islands do class as countries.

Re: travelling
Hang on a minute, doesn't plural mean consisting of, containing, or pertaining to more than one??

There is only one Wales (country) so therefore cannot have a plural.

Islands though (ie Falkland Islands) is a plural because there is more than one island, otherwise it would be Falkland Island.

Then the question would be the only country name ending in S. Not plural..... because it isn't.
