I know Scotland gained its independence in 03, but did it really? Are they countries like the US and Canada, or do they just call them countries to make them feel good, and they're more like US States, where you may have different less significant laws and state senators, but you're still subject to US law?

I suppose it is similar. However, they are all real countries with their own histories. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales have a certain amount of autonomy but are also subject to UK law.

NO THEY ARE NOT LIKE STATES AT ALL. all the countries in the UK have a history dating back to roughly the year 100. the UK was formed in 1707 so the UK is actually only a short part of these countries histories. the UK setup is NOTHING like the USA setup. our histories, values and cultures are completely different. although they are more alike now than what they would have been before the UK was established.
