I have family in Ireland!  Have you ever been there?
1_Wizard
I haven't ! Where is Ireland?
0_Apprentice
It is near England, right?
1_Wizard
I think so...It's an island in the North Atlantic, and I think the third largest in Europe.
0_Apprentice
I didn't know that!  What kind of government rules Ireland?
1_Wizard
I'm actually not sure, but it's divided between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Island, which is considered part of the UK.  I bet it's a beautiful country!

Oh.  I didn't realize it was split.  Why the the country divided?
1_Wizard
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it has something to do with the Norman invasion in the 12th century.
