> But England and Scotland? Find me an older partnership than that one

The Co-Principality of Andorra. Sure, there was a hiccup in 1812-1813, but it's hardly like the England-Scotland "partnership" hasn't had hiccups, and 789 years beats 310 years quite handily.

Even closer to home is the England/Portugal alliance, which started in 1373 and has run continuously since then.
