Are England and Scotland two different countries?

They belong to the same country, namely the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Scotland is a political entity of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Historically an independent country, it is not an independent country now. England is the main body of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, so it is customary that the word England also refers to Britain.

Extended data:

Scotland is an independent kingdom in history and has been occupied and ruled by England for hundreds of years. In order to oppose the English occupation, two wars of independence were launched, which were incorporated into the Kingdom of Great Britain by the Kingdom of England from 65438 to 0707. Although Scotland is under the jurisdiction of Britain in foreign affairs, military affairs, finance and macroeconomic policies, it has a great degree of autonomy in internal legislation and administration.

As one of the four main components of the United Kingdom, Scotland is represented in the United Kingdom Parliament in London. The central government is responsible for Scotland's national defense, diplomacy and other fields, and the local government of Scotland is responsible for Scotland's local affairs.

The head of state of Scotland is the current Queen Elizabeth II. She is a direct descendant of King James VI of Scotland (renamed James I after 1603), and the legitimacy of Scottish kingship is beyond doubt.
