Politicaly speaking.. yes it is somewhat like a state or province... Ask a Welshman..And he will Tell you Wales is a sovereign nation..

But legaly..that just isn't the case..

correct, everyone thinks its a country but its actually not.

common misconception.

i tried explaining this to a welshman, he didnt appreciate my comments.

England isn't a country.

England And Scotland are Joined in the act of union in 1707, Scotland is not a separate sovereign. Wales was basically invaded by england and is a principality.

Incorrect. England and Wales was technically a Union. The fact that the resulting country was called England is irrelevant.The nature of countries is rather different now to what it was in the 15th century.

Technically none of them are countries in the proper sense. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the only country.
