It's not its own country, it's part of the United Kingdom.

It's not an independent country, but it is a country still.
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland ARE countries, just not independent...

Err, I didn't realise people would be confused about this.

Maybe because people were never taught????

To be honest we shouldn't really call the UK the UK anymore since Brexit is probably going to divide us even more

I see your point, but when I think "country" I think "independent nation".
