ELI5, Can someone, just, explain how the UK works? How are England, Scotland, Wales, etc. all related?

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 we are a Union between Scotland and England and Wales and Northern Ireland is what remains of the occupation of Ireland.

No one really likes each other but no one really Crazily dislikes each other, I mean yeah especially in Northern Ireland the population that want to go with Ireland and the population that want to stay British hate each other.

No one really likes the Irish either but they don’t really like Brits either.

We are all ruled but a little lady with a magic funny hat who was born into a family that are somehow better than us and we’re re told we all really like but most of us couldn’t give a flying fuck about her or her weird family.

We all have devolved parliaments who can make some laws in our respective countries but not the really important ones. Only England gets to make those.

Frankly half us don’t want to be in a union and the other half do.

And we all kid on were the greatest country that ever lived because we had a huge empire that never once did a fucking single thing wrong, not even once. An America by comparison is a shit hole 3rd world country where people think their fucking amazing because they can afford a house sized car but not even a cup of water at a hospital and our police hardly ever kill the black guys.

Also for some reason we really dislike the French, the Germans, the Italians and the EU.
And even people here don’t have a fucking clue about the islands other than they’re kinda ours but people there don’t pay tax and all the bookies are based there.

I hope this has in some way helped
