Are Spain and Portugal literally the one country?

Okay before anyone calls me stupid, I know that Portugal and Spain aren't the same country and they speak Portuguese in Portugal. But are both literally the sane country but just have a boarder to split the two nations?

    They are NOT one country. 

    They share a peninsula, the Iberian peninsula, but this does not mean they are one country.

    But it is a stupid question. 

    By this rationale, every country in Africa is the same country; or the US & Canada and Mexico. Borders separate.

    They share a peninsula. You might as well say that Germany and France are the same country because they're next to each other with a border. The language is different, the culture is different- they are two separate countries.

    They both share the Iberian Peninsula, but as you know, they are two separate countries. The EU countries opened their common borders last weekend EXCEPT Spain and Portugal, because Portugal refused to do so until July 1st. Hardly the "same country". Cheers. 🙂
