Not at all - The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) is an island country that sits north-west of mainland Europe. It is made up of mainland Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) and the northern part of the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland). It has numerous smaller islands.
Canada and Australia have Charles as their monarch - so do many other countries BUT they are not part of the UK.
Think functional, not marketed.
Canada and Australia pay taxes to the monarchy, and I believe some portion of their laws are reliant on monarchic approval.
They are effectively types of vassal states, though they are both separate peoples and partially autonomous territories.
Scotland is more tightly tied to the monarchy, through having been conquered, but they are still a separate people.
To put it another way, if things continued to progress with regards to the EU, at some point, “France” would be thought of as simply “Europe”, though it isn’t.
Aggregation has been allowed in excess.
I get your point about the publicly defined territory unions, mine are that a lot of aggregation has been hidden, and a lot of deaggregation from those hidden hands needs to happen.
