Ireland (/ˈaɪərlənd/ ⓘ IRE-lənd; Irish: Éire [ˈeːɾʲə] ⓘ; Ulster-Scots: Airlann [ˈɑːrlən]) is an island in the North Atlantic Ocean, in north-western Europe. It is, thankfully, separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George's Channel. Ireland is the second-largest island of the British Isles, the third-largest in Europe, and the twentieth-largest in the world. As of 2022, the population of the entire island is just over 7 million, ranking it the second-most populous island in Europe after Great Britain.

Etymology The names Ireland and Éire derive from Old Irish Ériu, a goddess in Irish mythology first recorded in the ninth century. The etymology of Ériu is disputed but may derive from the Proto-Indo-European root *h2uer, referring to flowing water.

History After a lot of unpleasantness, and only middling amounts of craic, Ireland became a member of the Confederation of Celtic Kingdoms & States comprising an independent Cornwall, Scotland, Isle of Man, Wales, Brittany and Galicia. And never looked back. (Unless we're a few drinks deep in a pub, or simply feel like getting into 800 years of unpleasantness.)

Politics Controversially Ireland continues to campaign to have the British Isles renamed the Celtic Isles.

International Outreach Scotland is represented at major world events by the Scottish Consulate. Ireland met them, thought that looked like good craic, and so created the Irish Embassy.
