UK stands for United Kingdom, ie. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all united countries making up the United Kingdom of Great Britain. So really the UK is a NATION.
Also at the present time Scotland has their own parliament so really is an independent country in most aspects, Wales have still to go by parliament of England, as do Northern Ireland.
