You should know the answer yourself then

@Dᴏᴏғᴜs Dᴏʀᴋᴍᴀɴᴇ Except south Wales is English

Im still as patriotic and english as ever

Im a yorkshire girl born and bred

North Wales is the last of the Welsh

South Scotland is basically England.

"The Scots and Welsh belong in the Celtic ethnic group" Why are Scotland and Wales considered separate places if they are the same ethnic group and said ethnic groups decides the nation @Dᴏᴏғᴜs Dᴏʀᴋᴍᴀɴᴇ

Why do those places have different identities

cos they were split by england for so many years so their cultures diverged

@The Electric Lizard Tbh I can't wait for Saxony to leave Germany and join England

@MikuChan I'm talking about ethnicity not culture

their ethnicity hasnt changed..

I know

the reason they are different is culture

both shag sheep though

I am arguing that culture and identity are what a nation is created upon not ethnicity

its a mix of all of them

if it was just ethnicity

then you have the germans

being a subjective shitshow of a race

Do their borders link Electric? They don't. A lot of time has also passed that this feeling of unity between the groups has passed.

Is your question "why do similar/same ethnicities not unite and form a country"?

Do you even know what ethnicity is?

Which is why i am using the example of Wales and Scotland because according to @Dᴏᴏғᴜs Dᴏʀᴋᴍᴀɴᴇ they are from the same ethnic group and if that ethnic groups decides the nation then surely they should have the same identity

No

@Dᴏᴏғᴜs Dᴏʀᴋᴍᴀɴᴇ I don't believe nations are founded based on ethnicity

You have said that they are

English are an ethnicity

But there are sub groups within that

noun: ethnicity; plural noun: ethnicities

the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.

*national*

Dude, most nations are founded on ethnicity. If you are whining about current borders or placement of ethnic groups you can blame history and power

What about Germany then

Same ethnicity

Close to each other

dogshit country

Took decades to unify

xddddd

cos some of it is catholic

some of it

is protestant

and if you didnt know
