What is the UK exactly?

Are Britain, Ireland, Scotland and Wales part of the same country and separated like states in the US? Or are they separate nations altogether?

Example New York, Maryland, California are states that make the USA.

I'm pretty confused about that.

Britain is another name for the UK.

Scotland have a different government to England while I'm not sure about Wales.

Northern Ireland is also part of the UK.

Finally they are all seperate countries and in some sports play as Great Britain while in others as Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We're not independant. We're a devolved government.

Outside of the UK people see the UK as England

It is a piece of crap that benefits England and the sooner it is consigned to the dustbin of history the better.

This would lead to England finding the pride and identity it so sorely lacks


England is England, Wales is Wales, Scotland is Scotland and Ireland is all ****ed up.

danda Wales has a different government but I think they essentially get power from Central Govenment (Eng) via devolution.

Think of the UK as a supermarket.

You have Northern Ireland that sells wines and spirits.

You have Scotland where the chemist is found for all your druggy needs.

Wales is the retarded butcher, shoved to one side out of the way, missing fingers and he spits when he talks.

And then you have England. That's the place you do your Big Shop.

Apart they are just shops. Together, they are the UK Superstore.

England would be an asian newsagent where everything is 50% more expensive, pongs a bit, has sunrise fm blaring out the latest Bangalore top 40, has a sign on the caged door saying "1 skhool kid at a time" and dog **** all around the outside that fights for a place with piles of unappetising vomit. mind you it is open on Christmas day..
