For example, all 3 of the non-English parts of the UK have separatist movements that are big enough they have MPs elected.
Well the fact they need to advocate for separation is proof of unity by default at least. It is united as government organizations, not united as a hivemind.

Unity failing under the previous is say, Birmingham besieging London. The latter never happened.
