The Republic of Ireland (Irish: Éire), simply known as Ireland, is a country located in western Europe. The Republic of Ireland occupies approximately five-sixths of the island of Ireland. It shares its only land border with Northern Ireland to the north-east, which remains part of the United Kingdom.
Ireland uses the PEGI rating system, as with most European countries, though many games in the series are still rated by the BBFC.
