You're quite right, having a buffer with that name would be irresponsible on behalf of the creator/s. Which is a shame, I quite liked the aggressive land-based Britannia versus Scotland and France and it gave the Southerners something to do. Perhaps the South is just not at all suited to control the island in this time line.
I find the idea of the case simply being that some countries gain some land, have a tag change then colonise fairly dull compared to the exciting story of Scottish threat. Could we turn England into this buffer state?
Concerning the Gaelic union (Alba or Albion?) I agree again with Slavick3000 in that it should not gain a culture other than Gaelic, potential revolts give it something to deal with and cause more conflict.
I think Britannia should not consist of Eire, especially considering the two island's relationships in this history. The reason for the real merger between the isles was due to Monarchical inheritance (if I remember correctly :S) which would be impossible in this time line and Eire seems far too nationalistic and powerful for a country to consider subjugating it. I do not think Eire should be able to form Britannia for similar reasons.
I look forward to having my ideas shot down again by a more knowledgeable or creative person!
