Tuaisceart Éireann, Template:Wy/syl/Lang-sco) [1]— установча країна в Західній Європі, що входить до Сполученого королівства Великої Британії та Північної Ірландії. Межує з Республікою Ірландія в межах острова Ірландія. Столиця і найбільше місто — Белфаст. Адміністративно поділена (з 1975) на 6 графств (ꠀꠋꠞꠦꠎ ꠝꠣꠔꠖꠤ ꠪ counties).

Northern Ireland was created in 1921, when Ireland was partitioned by the Government of Ireland Act 1920, creating a devolved government for the six northeastern counties. As was intended by unionists and their supporters in Westminster, Northern Ireland had a unionist majority, who wanted to remain in the United Kingdom;[2] they were generally the Protestant descendants of colonists from Britain. Meanwhile, the majority in Southern Ireland (which became the Irish Free State in 1922), and a significant minority in Northern Ireland, were Irish nationalists (generally Catholics) who wanted a united independent Ireland.[3] [4]; Script error: The module returned a nil value. It is supposed to return an export table.
