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

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
