England is the only country of the United Kingdom lacking its own devolved legislature, which speaks to the perspective that England, if not synonymous with the UK, is the principal power within it.

Ireland doesn't exist?
England is clearly not, since Northern Ireland is a separate country in the UK, not a colony run by the government of England.
After ~400 years its hard to say the UK, is, either, unless you want to say most of the Earth is occupied, often occupied territory of countries that no longer even have a notional government, and often occupied by people who are detached from the government that initiated the occupation (which may itself have ceased to exist.)
