The NI border hasn't been put into the OSM database.

As for Wales and Scotland... well that's just an interesting
perspective... it surely could have been England that declared
independence?... anyway..

This is just an indication of the conflicted definition of country,
nation, and national. The borders are in the OSM DB as admin_level 2
(national border).
You try telling any one of those nationalities that they're not
actually a country.... I'll stand well back when you do it.
