I'm confused now. So it's a country, but not independent? How does that even work lol?!

Scotland and Wales are their own country but they are part of the UK, which is governed by London. So they are their own countries, but the currency is the same, laws are the same etc.

I always thought the UK was just a name for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern-Ireland, nothing more. Mind=blown, going to blame my teacher.

There are generally confusing places partially or totally independant all over the world, The UK is particularly complex thanks mostly to the British Empire... Here are just some of the complexities of The UK & Ireland:
