I'm surprised the cartoonist didn't use Prussia instead of Germany in that case, if he's going to use countries that don't exist anymore.

England (i /ˈɪŋɡlənd/) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.

I don't know the cartoonist's home country, but given how the British themeslves never learned to have enough respect for other sovereign states to call them by their proper names (for example, by insisting on referring to the Soviet Union as Russia), I'm glad that their own country is getting a similar amount of disrespect. The cartoonist gets a virtual high-five for me just for that.
