Is England a contrey

Answer 1

Using the word "country" in its strictest sense, as meaning a separate, sovereign state, then England is not a country.

England is one of the four territories which make up The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and it is The United Kingdom which is a country.

Many people erroneously say "England" when they really mean The United Kingdom.

For example, it is common for people in the US to refer to Queen Elizabeth II as "The Queen of England."

This is like saying that Barrack Obama is The President of Texas - it is both wrong and meaningless.

Colloquially, however, the word "country" is sometimes applied to England, as in "Which country of the United Kingdom contains The Lake District?" While this is strictly speaking incorrect, it is used.

The other parts of The United Kingdom are Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and similarly, Scotland and Wales are colloquially called "countries" but Northern Ireland is usually not.

Answer 2

No. The UK is not a country it is the shortened form of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which consists of four countries: Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Answer 3

Many people in England would consider that they live on an island, but England itself is not an island on its own - to explain:

The British Isles is a group of Islands off the North West Coast of Europe.

There are two large islands, and over 1000 small islands.

The largest of the two main islands is called Great Britain, and contains England, Scotland to the north and Wales to the West.

The other large island is called Ireland and contains The Republic of Ireland and the province of Northern Ireland in the north east.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and most of the small islands, and The Republic of Ireland is a separate, sovereign country made up of the larger, southern part of Ireland.

Some Irish people dislike the term "British Isles" as it implies that The Republic belongs to Great Britain, which it does not.
