I think that listing a region is more useful than listing a country, given the cultural diversity in the UK. For instance, many Cornish people are culturally closer to those from Brittany than those from Warwickshire. Genetically, they are closer to those Basque nationals than those from Warwickshire. Even these statements are broad generalisations.
While the above describes my genetic heritage, I am 100% Australian, born and raised.

English, Scottish, and further back Irish, and the Scottish line we've traced directly back to the 1300s. Even further back on the Scottish side was possibly French Norman Conquest bloodlines. On the English side further back is possibly the Norse invasion blood as my paternal grandmother's maiden name was of the type of British last name that has Scandinavian roots.

Welsh and English on one side Peruvian on the other with Spanish and Basque ancestry.
I want to find out more about my Welsh (paternal Great Grandfather) side as that what I know least about. That side of the family didn't talk to my dad about the family's past.
