This may be a rather implausbile country, but this is an idea for a Shared Worlds State.
With a POD no earlier then 900 AD, how could we get a United Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, perhaps with other lands, but not England, that survives until 2009 OTL.....
Bonus Points if it has colonies
Or, how could we get some sort of "New Ireland/Scotland/Something" as an independant country in the New World
