Ireland

Ireland is the smaller and most western of the major two islands of the British Isles. The island is not a wealthy land or a powerful one, but it was once the home of one of the most advanced civilizations in the entire Western Worlds. The island's reputation as a center of progress was eclipsed by centuries of intermittent warfare against foreign domination and by internal strife. The sons and daughters of Erin, or the Emerald Isle, as Ireland is popularly called, have settled all over the globe and their songs and stories of the homeland have given it a unique appeal.
