From the UK? I need some geographical help!

Badge image
So... I'm not going to lie, I'm in the midst of planning a competition for MZ that's similar to the UKICC I created a long time ago. (I was worried that I've put this in the wrong Forum Section but I just need a little bit of help with confirmation with geography.)

I'm currently looking for Counties in the UK and Ireland and want to put together a list of counties that participants will be able to represent in my upcoming competition... but I just wanted to run by, with fellow people from the UK, if I've got that information correct.

I'm fairly confident that I have all the English Counties accounted for but when it comes to Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland I don't want to accidentally use a county in my competition that doesn't exist anymore. I want people to confirm or disagree with the current lists I have in order for this competition to be as accurate as possible before I start outlining the counties on this:


Pretty cool huh?

So here's what I've got:

England:
Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Bristol,
Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Cheshire,
Cornwall, Cumbria, Derbyshire,
Devon, Dorset, Durham,
East Riding of Yorkshire, East Sussex, Essex,
Gloucestershire, Greater London, Greater Manchester,
Hampshire, Herefordshire, Hertfordshire,
Isle of Wight, Kent, Lancashire,
Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Merseyside,
Norfolk, North Yorkshire, Northamptonshire,
Northumberland, Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire,
Rutland, Shropshire, Somerset,
South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Suffolk,
Surrey, Tyne and Wear, Warwickshire,
West Midlands, West Sussex, West Yorkshire,
Wiltshire, Worcestershire,

Scotland:
Aberdeenshire, Angus, Argyll,
Ayrshire, Banffshire, Berwickshire,
Bute, Caithness, Clackmannanshire,
Dumfriesshire, Dunbartonshire, East Lothian,
Fife, Glasgow, Inverness-shire,
Kincardineshire, Kinross-shire, Kirkcudbrightshire,
Lanarkshire, Midlothian, Moray,
Nairn, Orkney Islands, Peeblesshire,
Perthshire, Renfrewshire, Ross and Cromarty,
Roxburghshire, Selkirkshire, Shetland Islands,
Stirlingshire, Sutherland, West Lothian,
Wigtownshire,

Wales:
Clwyd, Dyfed, Gwent,
Gwynedd, Mid Glamorgan, Powys,
South Glamorgan, West Glamorgan,

Northern Ireland:
Antrim, Armagh, Belfast,
Down, Fermanagh, Derry,
Tyrone,

Republic of Ireland:
Carlow, Cavan, Clare,
Cork, Donegal, Dublin,
Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Fingal, Galway,
Kerry, Kildare, Kilkenny,
Laois, Leitrim, Limerick,
Longford, Louth, Mayo,
Meath, Monaghan, Offaly,
Roscommon, Sligo, South Dublin,
Tipperary, Waterford, Westmeath,
Wexford, Wicklow,

and I also got the Isles:
Bailiwick of Guernsey, Jersey, and Isle of Man.

So what do you guys think, have I somehow missed a county out? Are there counties in that list that haven't been recognized for ages?

Before people say, "can't you just Google it?" I have been but I always get conflicting information as some articles are outdated (for example North and South Tipperary are now one big "Tipperary" again but in many websites and images online they were separated), some wiki articles represent Lieutenancy Areas and Preserved Areas as "Counties" with different names but... they are in the same place, so which one is correct is hard for me to determine.

Thanks in advance for any help ^-^

*edit* fixed a problem with the image.

I would leave the Welsh counties as they are. Officially they've split up a lot of them now into smaller councils, but then you would have way too many. The English ones look good to me too, but I can't comment on the rest as I don't know enough.

Scotland's counties look good to me, as long as Stirlingshire is in there, I'm happy.

Thank you ^-^ oh and don't worry, this tournament will be available for those outside of the UKI zone.

Yeah, I've noticed this haha
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_Wales
There was three options I could have taken to split up Wales, I decided to take the "Preserved counties of Wales" route. I'm assuming the "Principal areas of Wales" would have been the most current councils.
