No! Today the United Kingdom should be correctly referred to as 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. This incorporates England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Channel Islands can be also added along with The Orkneys and Isle of Man etc. At the turn of the 20th Century (1900), you would have referred to the British Empire and the UK as one. Now, the countries of the former British Empire collectively refer to themselves as 'The Commonwealth of Nations'. The British Monarch is no longer the ruler of the Commonwealth and is merely a token head of state with no real powers in the few remaining countries which are tokenly 'ruled 'by the Crown-ie. Australia which voted to retain the British Monarchy but the Queen as no real powers as such.
