    Ah yeah, good point. I was very confused by Southern Ireland missing on their map, too, but my comment made it sound like that’s part of the UK.

      You also want to be careful using terms like ‘Southern Ireland’. Northern Ireland is a thing, and the Republic of Ireland is a thing…

        Yes, I decided to call it “Southern Ireland”, because I doubt many people outside of Europe will know which one of the two Irelands is the “Republic of Ireland”.

        I did look up beforehand, if I’m allowed to say “Southern Ireland” without being crucified and Wikipedia said yes maybe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Ireland
