I don't see a problem with that.
Wikipedia defines a "country" as
--- Quote ---A country is a region identified as a distinct entity in political geography. A country may be an independent sovereign state or one that is occupied by another state, as a non-sovereign or formerly sovereign political division, or a geographic region associated with sets of previously independent or differently associated peoples with distinct political characteristics.

So its not out unreasonable to classify Macau and Hong Kong as countries!
--- End quote ---
So I could say Texas is a country and P.E.I is one too. :)

Hong Kong is an SAR, which is not comparable to Texas or PEI, because they are comparable to Guangdong or Jiangsu.

But before Texas became a state of the US in 1845, it was a sovereign nation (The Republic of Texas, 1836-1845).
Plus, the SAR refers to a closer relationship than that between Scotland and England, for instance.

...your Texas argument is irrelevant because it's a state and does not have the same degree of autonomy as an autonomous republic would...such as the SAR :lol:
Also no SAR-PRC is different to Scotland-England, because Scotland-England share things like democracy and multiparty states, whereas the SAR-PRC, only one does. Unless you can prove otherwise, I call bs on that too.
