It is bordered by UKball with  Northern Irelandball to the North and Northeast, the Celtic Sea to the South, the Atlantic to the West, and is located just off the coast of UKball to the East. The country is divided into 4 provinces, including their capital Dublinball located in the  Leinsterball province, giving it a total area of 27,133 square miles, making it the 118th largest country in the world.

Personality
Ireland is the only Celtic country that is independent, wheres all the rest are anschlussed by  Germanics. Their relationship with UKball is tough for centuries. They are still mad at him for not helping him during his famine but very much relies on them with trade. The two are part of the British - Irish Council, showing that they still have some friends. When Northern Irelandball is not only saying "BOMB", "Norn Iron", and etc. They sometimes fight. Usually when "Norn Iron" is "dumb" he usually tries to steal him from UKball.

History
Irelandball was Celtball's children, and while their sibling  Walesball was conquered by  SPQRball, it remained independent.

Then after Englandball was invaded by Frankball's young,  Normandyball, They invaded Ireland and stayed there for 800 or more years.

In 1603, England forced Irelandball to become Protestant (see above), and conquered it in 1649. Then in 1688-1692, Englandball fought a war against Catholic Irelandball, resulting in Ireland becoming mostly Protestant, and laws that removed most of Catholic Ireland's rights, but over the years Irelandball regained its  Catholic way and is now mostly  Catholic.

In 1798, Irelandball rebelled against Britainball, resulting in his young,  Ulsterball, being taken away by the new  UKball in 1801. Then in 1845, Ireland lost their 🥔 potatoes. then again in 1847, and 1851. This led to thoughts of independence from UKball, but this was not shared by  Ulsterball, who decided to remain as part of  UKball in 1912.

In 1916, while UKball was busy fighting German Empireball, Ireland started fighting them for independence. Eventually, in 1921, Ireland can into independence, but part of Ulster stayed with UKball to become  Northern Irelandball leaving 26 out of 32 parts of their island. This caused a brutal and bloody 40-year long war between the two nations, known as The Troubles (this war was not endorsed by either nation). Ireland remained neutral in WWII (known in Ireland as The Emergency) to prove its independence from  UKball. In 1973, UKball joined EUball, and since Ireland had such strong trade agreements with UKball it joined also. When both UKball and  Irelandball got tired of the 40-year-border crisis with  Northern Irelandball, they signed the Good Friday agreement on 10 April 1998 to keep "happy" with  UKball. The Good Friday Agreement included the removal of the border between both nations (This was thanks to EUball's new open border treaty), and [2 and Article 3] of the 'BUNREACHT NA hÉIREANN' or 'Constitution Of Ireland'  to be changed, with an overwhelming 90% of the Irish population voting for the agreement.

In 2016 he became richer than UKball in GDP per capita. They still want more 🥔 potatoes though.

They also won Eurovision more than anyone else - a record seven times (though Swedenball is catching up to him)!
