say the UK is not officially a federation (not that I’m aware of at least) but it’s also a collection of various and at time very diverging populations and countries/states/regions

Sorry for being that kind of nerd but I have to somehow, the UK is a unitary state, pretty much the opposite of a federation. Meaning regional powers are granted by the central government not inherited from its component parts.

It’s “Wastebasket” in the UK on the GNOME desktop. I’m happy enough with that.
