Hi EmpatheticKnight,
Thank you for using our platform to ask your question! :)

Ireland was in fact in the Empire until its independence from it in 1937.
Scotland and England were both a part of the British Empire and, to this day, are still a part of Great Britain.
Let us know if you have any other questions! :)
