Països Catalans

Well, kiddo, do you know what a country is? It's a place where people live, and they have their own government, culture, and language. So, a "països catalans" means "Catalan countries" in Catalan, which is a language spoken in parts of Spain, France, and Andorra.

Now, these Catalan countries include Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearic Islands, and a part of eastern Aragon. People living in these areas share similarities in their language, culture, and history. They are also proud of their Catalan identity.

Some people think that these regions should become their own independent country, separate from Spain. Others believe that they should have more autonomy or independence within Spain. It's a topic that people debate and have different opinions on.

So, in short, "països catalans" refers to a group of regions where people share a common language and culture, and there are different ideas about how they should be governed.
