It's definitely correct. Whilst the four main constituent parts (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland & Wales) are FIFA members in their own rights, the sovereign nation of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is NOT a member. In due course, the four may expand to five, as Jersey is interested in following Gibraltar, the newest UEFA member which is targeting admission by FIFA.

This would have to be worded a bit differently, as no nation is member of FIFA, only football associations.

I got the Marshall Islands typed in at just the last second, and one graph it shows I got it, but on the other it shows I missed it. Weird.

The embarrassment of not getting the UK as I sit here on this rainy morning in eastern England. I did get Tuvalu though, so all those years watching footie on telly and on the terraces, all that money spent travelling to away games and watching us get thrashed were all worth it.

But not the Kingdom of Denmark. Each of the constituent countries of the Kingdom of Denmark have their own football associations.

Yeah it sets the precedent, because by this logic Netherlands (and probably others?) should be here too

The US is part of FIFA, since they won the Women's World Cup (FIFA) and they participated in the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Denmark (as in the Kingdom of Denmark which is the sovereign country) should be added. Each of the individual constituent countries have their own FA's.

Denmark participates as "Denmark", the Netherlands participate as "Netherlands", while the UK don´t participate as "UK". That´s the difference.
