There is no country directly on the other side of the world to England. That would place you in the ocean, somewhat southeast of New Zealand. The northern island of New Zealand is directly opposite of Spain. Australia is directly opposite the north Atlantic, and does not overlap with any land of significant size.

The opposite side of the world to England is actually in the ocean, near the coast of New Zealand. When flipping around the coordinates of England, you will get 51 S, 180 W, which is in the ocean near the Antipodes Island, which are part of New Zealand.
Japan extends from about 30° to 45°N latitude and 130° to 145°E longitude, so in the other (Western) hemisphere, this would be in the middle of the North Atlantic.
However the antipode (opposite side of the planet) would be in the Southern Hemisphere, just off the eastern coast of Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. It is an indication of the vast width of the Pacific that countries linked demographically with Japan (Chile, for example) are very nearly halfway around the world.
The point is in the central north Atlantic Ocean, about 430 miles west of the Azores.
That's where you would emerge if you drilled a hole straight down from Melbourne,
directly through the center of the earth and out the other side.
I look up the earth's diameter, and apparently, it is 7,926 miles. With that, the answer is... Depends. If you go southwest from Arizona, you would land in Australia. If you go a bit north, you will land in the Pacific Ocean, go far enough north, you will be in Russia. However, going east instead, you will only land in the Atlantic Ocean.
no England isn't on the opposite side of the world to England! THEY ARE THE SAME PLACE! the country opposite England is AUSTRALIA!
