My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it's like for others here on the fediverse.

In the UK, you generally don't see people flying the Union Jack unless its a major sporting event, or its a major governmental sort of building.

If anything, you're probaby more likely to see the English, Scottish or Welsh (or NIish I assume, but never been there) flags than the Union Jack. Because the different nations have their own football teams (and other sports too), so they come out for the big international tournaments and some stay flying in between.

There's no single Northern Irish flag, because anything you would fly would be...problematic
