Himaruya said that he is only referred England around his brothers, but the UK outside of that and everyone does call him UK. So the OP is actually right about the fandom generally calling him the wrong name.

All in all, I rather say England because UK is a mouth full and it helps that he's the actual England within the UK anyway even if its wrong. Like Prussia is still called Prussia when he was a kid even though his name was actually the State of the Teutonic Knights. Too much of a pain in the ass to say that mouthful.

Except that it's more like he's the spokesman/representative of the UK than actually being the whole UK as a country? 'Cause, as far as I remember, when a country stops existing they...well. Stop existing in the Hetalia canon [Prussia being an exception since he's a bit too popular to just knock off.]

Anyways, because of the fact his brothers are still around means he's *not* the whole UK as far as that goes, but he represents them in international matters. Saying that the fact he represents them there because he is the whole UK, is kinda like saying that the frontman of a company/band/what have you *is* the whole company/band/ect.

Pretty much this, not to mention it's hella awkward reading fic where people call him "United Kingdom" or "UK" on a regular basis - for me, it just seems to disrupt the flow of a sentence in anything other than news stories or comments whereas "England" doesn't, probably for the same reason that "America" doesn't bug me when technically he should probably be called "United States" or "US".
