Pretty much anywhere you look, Wales and Scotland are listed as independent countries, except not really. Even the Isle of Man, which isn’t a part of the UK (somehow) reports to England in some capacity. And then there’s Northern Ireland; I don’t know what their deal is. Every google search just makes me more confused, so is there some Brit who can enlighten me?

Basically, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are kinda like states in the USA. Various cultural and historical differences, but all part of the UK. A Texan is also an American for example the same as a Scot is also British.
The Isle of Man and the other crown dependencies are sort of equivalent to Guam or Puerto Rico. The people there are also British, but they don’t have the same political status for things like elections.
As for how it works, as a Brit I’m not sure that it does lol
