No, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are definitely different countries. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own laws and all 3 of them have their own devolved national assembleys to deal with their national issues.

From wikipedia:

The United Kingdom is a unitary state consisting of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
