They are not countries. It is a common misconception. The United Kingdom is a country, not England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as they each do not have their own independent political government.
Your point being? The guy said no-one else did. He was wrong.
I would hardly call an almost 700ft long ship tiny.

United Kingdom is a country but it's also a sovereign state, as it it governs the main 4 countries that make up the UK. Which are all countries in themselves.
Wales and Ulster have their own assemblies and Scotland has it's own parliament. England does not. UK has a parliament that can govern all 4 countries.

The UK Parliament has sovereignty over all over political bodies in the UK. They have the ability to remove the Scottish Parliament, and the Welsh/NI Assemblies.
Not trying to argue for/against your points, just putting out some facts.

If I am correct I beleive the people of Northern Ireland have the right under the good friday agreement to hold a referendum to join a united Ireland.
And the British government have said they will accept and recognise the outcome of said referendum.
