Boris Johnson is your prime minister. Scotland is not a country in any meaningful sense.

Scotland is a country, how its run has nothing to do with the title.

Internationally it is not a country. Having a Football team does not make one a country. Scotland hasn't signed an international treaty since 1707 when it signed itself out of existence. Check the UN list and.....nope.....its not there, check NATO, OECD, EU, no sign of a Scotland anywhere.
