The Angevin Empire similarly split the island back in the 12th century after the Norman invasion when what would become the UK ruled large parts of it, so it's historic.
In fact it had been run by English/British kings for centuries.
Before then it was just like here in that it was pretty tribal.

And here's me, someone for whom English isn't my first language and my English nationality being one of two, having to teach my grandmother how to suck eggs! Wow!

a recent add on complication to a complicated question made
even more complicated by matters of indoctrination etc used to
try to keep Ireland or part of it as part of UK??
The best solution for Ireland and the Irish would be for the NI
protestants to be assimilated and disperse all over the island and
for England to give up all claim and responsibility for any part of
lreland ??
Maybe it they all became atheists it would help ??
A similar thing should apply to the UK ie. England/Scotland &
Wales !!
UK is too small be a federation !!
Donkeyman! 🤔🤔🤔

BRITISH first, and then whatever their choice is second !!
What is wrong with that !?!?
Because there is an enclave of Scots in an area in, say, Australia,
Then should that area become Scotland ??
Don't be so tribal Zaphod !!
