To balance it out, we use the .uk internet domain when really we should use .gb
The UK was created by the Act of Union 1801, which created The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. You’re thinking about the partition of Ireland in 1922, which only changed the name of the country by adding the word “Northern” to it.

The Kingdom of Great Britain only existed from 1707-1801.
