Northern Ireland is one of the four countries of the United Kingdom (although it is also described by official sources as a province or a region), situated in the northeast of the island of Ireland. It was created as a separate legal entity on 3 May 1921, under the Government of Ireland Act 1920. The new autonomous Northern Ireland was formed from six of the nine counties of Ulster: four counties with unionist majorities and two counties, Fermanagh and Tyrone, which had slight Irish nationalist majorities (of 53.6% and 54.6% respectively in the 1918 election). The remaining three Ulster counties with larger nationalist majorities were not included. In large part unionists, at least in the northeast, supported its creation while nationalists were opposed.
Resistance to Home Rule
From the late 19th century, the majority of people living in Ireland wanted the British government to grant some form of self-rule to Ireland. The Irish Nationalist Party sometimes held the balance of power in the House of Commons in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a position from which it sought to gain Home Rule, which would have given Ireland autonomy in internal affairs, without breaking up the United Kingdom. Two bills granting Home Rule to Ireland were passed by the House of Commons in 1886 and 1893, but rejected by the House of Lords. With the passing of the Parliament Act 1911 by the Liberal Party government (which reduced the powers of the Lords from striking down parliamentary Bills to delaying their implementation for two years) it was apparent that Home Rule would probably come into force in the next five years. The Home Rule Party had been campaigning for this for almost fifty years.

Northern Ireland is a common law jurisdiction. Although its common law is similar to that in England and Wales, and partially derives from the same sources, there are some important differences in law and procedure between Northern Ireland and England and Wales. While influenced by English law, the Northern Ireland legal system is distinctive for a number of reasons: it has roots in Irish common law prior to Irish independence in 1921; following Irish independence, Northern Ireland became a devolved jurisdiction within the United Kingdom.
The island's geography comprises relatively low-lying mountains surrounding a central plain, with several navigable rivers extending inland. The island has lush vegetation, a product of its mild but changeable climate which avoids extremes in temperature. Thick woodlands covered the island until the Middle Ages. As of 2013, the amount of land that is wooded in Ireland is about 11% of the total, compared with a European average of 35%. There are 26 extant mammal species native to Ireland. The Irish climate is very moderated and classified as oceanic. As a result, winters are milder than expected for such a northerly area. However, summers are cooler than those in Continental Europe. Rainfall and cloud cover are abundant.

Abortion and same-sex marriage now legal in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland Protocol: Can the UK and EU find a solution to its problems? - BBC Newsnight
Both the UK and EU have admitted there have been "teething problems" with the so-called Northern Ireland protocol since it came into force on 1 January. What can be done to improve the way it works? Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
The Northern Ireland protocol is the system designed to avoid checks and disruptions for trade on the border of Northern Ireland and the Republic.
But since it has been implemented some trade disruption has instead happened over goods arriving from Great Britain into Northern Ireland.
Why is it still proving such a stumbling block 6 weeks after the end of the transition period?
Policy Editor Lewis Goodall repots from Belfast.

Northern Ireland Situation War, within a single nation No one thinks of it as war That's what television's for Embroidering reality, with clichés and ??? We'll call this war the 'troubles' Confuse the masses with initials (IRA, UVA, UVA, IRA, ILA, IUC) There's so many sides involved And no one thinks it can be solved Avoidance of the history of suppression, death and misery Will leave the people, ignorant of everything that's relevant So who is who defending, and who's protecting who? Until you know the answers, don't pretend you do do do do don't pretend you do! So we see the brave young soldiers And we read about the murders Then we place our weak opinions On what the papers tell us But telling half the truth is as bad as telling lies For a war to keep continuing There has to be two sides! But who is who defending, who's protecting who? Until you know the answers, don't pretend you do do do do don't pretend you do! Supporting one side or the other Is really nothing more Than saying there is no solution But to carry on the war And both the IRA and the army Are equally to blame In general terms of violence You know they're doing just, they're doing just, they're doing just the same Doing just the same So who is who defending, and who's protecting who? Until you know the answers, don't pretend you do do do do don't pretend you do!
