The four nations of the UK are completely distinct, so why do they make up one United Kingdom?
The Union of the Crowns brought England (which ruled over Ireland) and Scotland, former rivals, under the control of one king, but the House of Stuart was never able to fully unify their domains. That all changed when Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army conquered all of the British Isles for the English Commonwealth and unified England, Scotland, and Ireland for the first time in history.
