A kingdom and republic on my land do share a border;
my name contains an N, an R, and E (not in that order).
An island world-renowned for having many natural wonders,
I am home to gingers, though in ever smaller numbers.
You may think this riddle is so easy that it's scary,
but actually I am located far from Tipperary.
What am I?

I think you are
Borneo
A kingdom and republic on my land do share a border
The island is politically divided among three countries: the kingdoms, Brunei and Malaysia in the north, and the republic Indonesia in the south. Malaysia and Indonesia share a border.
My name contains N, R and E
Borneo
An island of natural wonders
It has for example one of the oldest rainforests in the world.
I am home to gingers though in ever smaller numbers
The orangutan population has plummeted this century due to human activities.
You may think this riddle is easy - but I am far from Tipperary
I observe gingers in Ireland are flourishing, and indeed from Borneo it's a long way to Tipperary.

The "a long way to Tipperary" seems to be a clear hint that Ireland is not the answer.

I think it is-
Ireland
Because:
republic of Ireland shares a border with united kingdom (specifically northern Ireland) , has the letters N,R,E, it is an island nation, it is also the country with highest percentage of red heads(gingers), finally Tipperary is a town in Ireland

Surely Ireland is not located "far from Tipperary"?

Pretty good fit for most of the clues, although one couldn't really use the word "island" for this anymore, right?
