Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom located on the island of Ireland. It shares a border with the Republic of Ireland, an independent country. The region has a complex history of political and religious tensions between mainly Protestant Unionists, who want to stay part of the UK, and mainly Catholic Nationalists, who seek union with Ireland. Today, Northern Ireland is a peaceful society with its own government, but these historical divisions still influence its politics and community relations. It features a diverse landscape, vibrant cities like Belfast, and a rich cultural heritage.
