Google gave me a few different answers when I googled “is the UK a country”. It said that the UK is:
1. A country
2. An island country
3. A unique country
4. A sovereign state
When I googled if England was a country, most answers said yes, but some said no because it fails to meet all the criteria of an independent country. One source said, “*Although England operates as a semi-autonomous region, it is not officially an independent country and instead is part of the **country** known as the United Kingdom*”
If England isn’t a country, then what is it?
If the UK isn’t a country, then what is it?
If they are both countries, how is it possible to have a country of countries?

UK is a sovereign, independent country and subject of international laws. Constituent countries of a unitary UK have less autonomy than federal states in a federation like Germany, the US or Canada. While the UK chose to devolve some responsibilities to The Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly etc; it does so at the will of Westminster, and can withdraw them just like it did in NI.
