No, but it's part of the UK
England is not the country, is part of the country. That's the problem with you, Englishmen, that reduce all of Britain to England, and that upset Scotish, Welsh and Irish.

England is not a country
You're not represented as England in the EU, because it's not a country; you're represented as Britain. UK is a union of kingdoms, and all of them together form a country.

you are wrong
the UK is a sovereign state made up of several countries

Which countries
Because a moment ago, only England was a country.

see below
argument about Wales not being a country is a facetious one.

Scotland is a country, as is England.

You try telling a Scotsman that it's not a country and see how far you get.

The UK is a United Kingdom (hence the name) under one monarch
Therefore the union is not of Kingdoms but of countries and/or principalities
