Scottish born, brought up in East Anglia; I notice diffrences with other parts of the UK eg. Molly Dancing
Jack Valentine, the landscape itself is unique to the UK, with different wildlife etc...own dialect etc..only english region with a celtic figure which supersedes in fame any of the welsh, Scottish or Irish legends - the ICENI. What do you think?

Yes! Let's build a big moat around it and call it East Anguler (sic Jade Goodey).

Whether folk like it or not, East Anglia is a distinct region and, if it were still linked to Germany (c.f. King Rædwald, Sutton Hoo), would likely have one of its Länder regional governments. Mind you, we do have the patron saint of the English folk, Saint Edmund (NOT St George who was a Palestinian and the protector of the Plantagenets who were French overlords to England), as well as Hereward the Wake who gave these Normans the thrashing they so richly deserved!

Maybe you could also claim King Arthur as local to East Anglia ?
Geoffrey of Monmouth in his History of the kings of Britain, was the author to first create King Arthur as a distict character (unlike Anaerin's hero in Y Gododdin). As Geoffrey says King Arthur was a Saxon, and the Angles & Saxons occupied most of the SE of England - that maybe your link to King Arthur (pretty tenuous, eh?).
BTW in the early 1800's my mother's (Firmage) family lived near Ipswich. They moved to Lincoln for 1 generation, then moved on eventually to Hose in Leicestershire (where my maternal grandmother worked in one of the dairies, producing Stilton cheese).
